Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (Dairy-Free)

You have to try this dairy-free Pumpkin Pie Smoothie! It tastes like a creamy pumpkin shake but is guilt-free! Make it for a delicious breakfast, snack or even dessert!

If you see me skipping in the grocery store with a can of pumpkin in my cart, it's because of this smoothie. I start craving it every August, and by September, it's my breakfast several mornings a week.

It's my favorite fall smoothie! This apple and oats smoothie is a close second.

Recipe ingredients

Pumpkin: You'll need canned pumpkin purée (affiliate link). It's not the same as pumpkin pie filling, so be sure to check the label closely.

Banana: You can use a fresh or frozen ripe banana. I love the way a frozen banana produces a texture that's similar to a milkshake.

Almond Milk: I use plain, unsweetened almond milk in this vegan pumpkin smoothie (and all of my smoothie recipes). Sweetened almond milk also works, or you could use another non-dairy milk. If dairy isn't an issue, you could use regular milk.

Walnuts: Nothing beats the flavor of walnuts when you want your smoothie to taste like dessert! You could substitute pecans or omit the nuts if needed.

Oats: I make my smoothies more filling by adding raw, rolled oats. Plain, quick-cooking oats also should work. You can omit them if needed.

Flavoring & Spices: Cinnamon, ground ginger and vanilla extract bring the flavors of pumpkin pie to our pumpkin-banana smoothie. Feel free to experiment with nutmeg or allspice if you want!

Sweetener: You'll need to add sweetness here if you use unsweetened almond milk. I like adding a fresh, pitted date, but you could add a packet of Stevia instead, or even pure maple syrup.

How to make a pumpkin Pie smoothie

See the card at the end of this post for the full recipe, but here's an overview.

1. Add the banana (broken in half) to the blender container, along with the pumpkin purée and remaining ingredients.
2. Blend until smooth.

Recipe tips

• Use a high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix (affiliate link) for best results.
• If your banana is frozen, you only need to add a few ice cubes to make the smoothie cold enough.
• If using a fresh banana, add a heaping half-cup of ice to get the right consistency.

What to do with leftover pumpkin

You can store leftover pumpkin purée in a sealed container in your fridge for 5-7 days or freeze it for up to three months. Use it to make orange-pumpkin French toast or this pumpkin Alfredo sauce!
