Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 2 smoothies
Author Sonja

Ingredients

  • Scant 2 cups of pumpkin or 1 can 15 oz. Pumpkin, chilled (learn how to cook your pumpkin in the crock-pot here) If your pumpkin was frozen, drain well.
  • 1-1 1/2 cups milk chilled (I use almond or coconut milk for vegan and dairy-free)
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice if needed
  • 1/2 cup oatmeal raw or cooked, optional to thicken and add whole grains into your diet
  • 1/4 cup or to taste, organic granulated sugar, maple syrup (for vegan) or honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Blend and serve immediately!
  2. You can garnish with granola or crushed graham crackers (make gluten free if needed) and real whipped cream or vegan whipping cream.

The Verdict: This is a really thick smoothie that can be diluted with more milk if you’d like.  Or just omit the oats.  If you want it sweeter, add honey or organic sugar.  I am not a huge pumpkin pie fan, but if you are, I bet you’ll like this.  I liked mine better without the oats.  My Abbie girl loved this almost as much as she liked the Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie, and that’s saying something!

  1. Wow, this is such a delicious-looking smoothie recipe. I fell in love with making smoothies years ago and I have been trying all kinds of smoothie recipes since. Today I am making a hemp green smoothie. I can’t wait to try this pumpkin recipe! Glad I found you on Healthy Vegan Friday.
