This easy-to-make pumpkin pie smoothie is a healthy twist on the classic dessert in drinkable form! Enjoy it as is or with some non-dairy whipped topping and crumbled grahams or cinnamon. This fall-inspired smoothie is vegan, gluten-free and has nut-free and no added sugar options. Perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Now you can have your pumpkin pie and eat drink it too!
You might be asking yourself, "Why would I want to drink pumpkin pie?"
And I will respond with the question, "Why not?"
This smoothie is much easier to make than a pumpkin pie and takes waaaaaaaay less time. Just sayin'. 😉
Plus it's healthier than actual pumpkin pie so there's that...
Ingredients you'll need
- Banana (previously frozen)
- Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk (use a nut-free milk for the nut-free option)
- Pumpkin Puree
- Maple Syrup (omit for the no added sugar option)
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Cinnamon
- Ice Cubes
How to make this pumpkin pie smoothie
Add all of the ingredients to a high-powered blender.
I use a Ninja.
Blend until smooth.
Enjoy!
Ideas for serving
By all means, you can enjoy this smoothie as is. Go ahead...drink up!
Oooooor...
You can take it to the next level with some non-dairy whipped topping and crumbled grahams!
I personally recommend So Delicious' Cocowhip, which is what I used in these photos. The flavor really complements the pumpkin and when mixed in, adds another level of creaminess to the smoothie.
It also reminds me of my childhood obsession with loading my pumpkin pie up with Cool Whip, so yeah.
Anyway, you can use your favorite brand of dairy-free whipped topping or a homemade version.
To get that feeling of having a pie crust, I also topped off the smoothie with some crumbled grahams. I used Nairn's brand gluten-free oat grahams which note that they are suitable for vegans on the box.
Of course, you can use your favorite brand or sprinkle on some cinnamon instead or chopped pecans if you're not nut-free.
