VEGAN PUMPKIN SMOOTHIE
It’s our favorite time of the year to eat. We’re obsessed with pumpkin, and apple, and warm and comforting foods.
Although our vegan pumpkin smoothie isn’t warm in temperature, it definitely has a warm and comfy flavor, thanks to the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
We use real pumpkin puree and almond milk, and a frozen banana to make it super thick and cold.
The spices and pumpkin do a great job of hiding the flavor of the banana, so don’t be afraid to try it if you don’t like bananas.
THE BEST DAIRY-FREE PUMPKIN SMOOTHIE
There is absolutely no need to make this smoothie with dairy milk, because almond or cashew milk is just as creamy and so much better.
Omitting dairy also removes cholesterol and saturated fat, as well as other unmentionables that comes in cow milk.
We’ve made this almond milk pumpkin smoothie with many kinds of plant-based milk options, and they all worked out perfectly.
Here are some of the plant milk options you can use:
- Almond milk
- Cashew milk
- Pea protein milk
- Oat milk
WHAT’S IN A PUMPKIN PIE SMOOTHIE?
We only use whole foods in our pumpkin smoothie recipe.
- Pumpkin puree
- A frozen banana, this gives it a great creamy base and makes it nice and cold.
- Pumpkin spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
- Pure Maple Syrup, which make it a refined sugar-free smoothie.
- Plant-based milk
It’s a healthy and nutrient rich breakfast or snack.
We don’t add ice to our smoothies because the water dulls down the flavors of the pumpkin and the spices, and there’s no need to use ice because of the frozen banana.
This smoothie is thick like a shake, so if you’ve been looking for a vegetable shake recipe that tastes good, this is it.

I used vegan yogurt instead of banana and it comes put creamy and delicious! Maybe use half a cup - full cup; I usually just eyeball it with almond milk amount. Tastes great!
Linda & Alex says
Thank you, Bill. Great tip!
Nancy says
Came out wonderful I added 1/4 cup more of pumpkin purée, 2 Medajool dates (instead of maple syrup) and two shots of espresso - amazing

Thank you for the great recipe! But I changed Pumpkin for Butternut Squash because I didn't want to go to the grocery! And can say that it tastes very good!

I am trying to lose weight. Is this pumkpin food will help?
Alex Meyer, MA says
Hey! We're not dietitians, so we can't really recommend any particular diet to lose weight, but this vegan pumpkin pie smoothie is a great lower calorie option to get a sweet taste of pumpkin than something like pumpkin pie! Hope this helps : )
