Pumpkin Smoothie – A Beautiful Mess

This smoothie tastes like pumpkin pie and it’s such a treat! If you are a pumpkin spice latte person, you have to try this recipe. It’s full of nutrients and protein and perfectly cozy for the beginning of the fall season.

This pumpkin smoothie is made of blended pumpkin puree, frozen banana, Greek yogurt and cinnamon. It will be your favorite smoothie recipe for autumn.

Ingredients in a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

• Frozen Banana – The base of almost every smoothie recipe I post.
• Pumpkin Puree – You can get this in a can and use it to make several smoothies.
• Vanilla Greek Yogurt – I always use Greek yogurt because it’s higher in protein, but you can use any yogurt for this recipe.
• Milk – I used almond milk.
• Honey – For added sweetness.
• Vanilla Extract – For added flavor.
• Cinnamon – I used ground cinnamon as well as one cinnamon stick for garnish.
• Pumpkin Spice – Just a pinch!
• Whipped Cream – Optional garnish ingredient. I like it because it makes it feel more like a pie.

You will need a blender to complete this recipe. My favorite blender is my Vitamix blender. My favorite (more affordable) option is this Ninja blender.

Directions

In a blender, combine milk, pumpkin puree, yogurt, honey, frozen banana, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon.

Blend well until completely smooth.

Pour into one large or two small glasses.

Add whipped cream to the top and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for garnish. Enjoy!

Tips for Making

• You can use pumpkin spice and cinnamon interchangeably for this recipe if you only have one at home.
• Mason jars (with handles) are my current favorite smoothie and drink glasses. I use them all the time. You can see them here in my cherry limeade recipe.
• Use your leftover pumpkin puree to make our PSL syrup recipe.
