Vegan Pumpkin Smoothie

This Vegan Pumpkin Smoothie recipe is full of fall flavors. Smooth and creamy, it’s naturally sweetened with banana and full of warm pumpkin flavor.

This creamy tasty treat is perfect as an autumn snack or morning breakfast. Made with pumpkin puree, frozen banana, pumpkin spice, and plant milk, this vegan pumpkin pie smoothie is naturally sweet, thick, and creamy.

This easy recipe was inspired by my desire to create a healthy plant-based smoothie that was creamy, healthy, and kid-friendly for our annual Halloween party.

When I was doing some research looking for a cute and healthy orange recipe to go with our pumpkin theme I found many with artificial ingredients such as orange soda and orange sherbet.

I know my kids get enough artificial sugar on Halloween to last them the year, so piling on more in the form of a smoothie just doesn’t seem right.

The best part of this creamy smoothie recipe is that it’s not only delicious, but it’s full of whole food plant-based ingredients! Looking for more pumpkin recipes? Check out these 13 Sensational Vegan Pumpkin Recipes!

📋 Vegan Pumpkin Smoothie Step by Step Instructions

Step 1: Add frozen banana, pumpkin purée, almond milk, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup to your blender.

Step 2: Blend until smooth and creamy. If using a high-speed blender start at the lowest setting slowly increasing to about 5 or 6 until all ingredients have been combined. Add ice, and blend until combined.

Step 3: Pour into two glasses. Serve topped with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

💭 Expert Tips

• Use unsweetened non-dairy milk to reduce sugar content
• Add additional ice cubes if you want a thicker consistency. This adds thickness without adding extra calories or sugar.
• If you like my spice increase the amount of pumpkin pie spice.
• Blend until ice cubes are completely incorporated.
• Serve immediately for the best taste and consistency.

📖 Variations and Substitutions

Add Fruit: If you like your smoothie a bit sweeter, add additional frozen fruit such as mango, or peaches. The smoothie will retain that bright pumpkin orange!

Don’t have almond milk? Any plant milk will work well in this smoothie. Some of your other options include soy, rice, cashew, oat, or coconut. If you choose coconut milk you’ll have higher fat content and a more rich and creamy texture.

Add Healthy Fats: Boost the nutritional value of this smoothie by adding some healthy fats such as a tablespoon of almond butter, hemp seeds, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, or vanilla protein powder.
