    This vegan pumpkin pie smoothie is a delicious, nutritious perfect fall beverage that takes less than 5 minutes to whip up from scratch.

    Vegan pumpkin pie smoothie is a healthy way to kick start the fall, delicious and packed with nutrients

    One thing I love about autumn and winter is the fact that these seasons bare some of my favourite produce.

    I'm talking about blackberries, apples, plums, pears, butternut squash and of course pumpkin.

    This vegan pumpkin pie smoothie couldn't be any easier. Grab the ingredients needed, put them in your blender, puree and serve!! It takes just under 5 minutes from start to scratch.

    What can I say if you are a die hard, all things pumpkin fan, then this recipe has your name written all over it.

    Back in the day I used to loathe pumpkin as a child but as I got older I learnt to embrace this vegetable.

    Pumpkin is so nutritious, dense and true comfort food. While this smoothie doesn't quite taste like a slice of pumpkin pie.

    It's a great contender, just think you can serve it for breakfast in the morning, especially during thanksgiving before having that pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie for dessert (bonus).

    Ingredients you will need

    • Frozen Banana
    • Almond milk
    • Pumpkin puree
    • Pumpkin spice
    • Oats
    • Chia seeds
    • Vanilla
    • Sweetener (agave, coconut sugar, maple syrup etc..)

    How to make vegan pumpkin pie smoothie

    • Grab all of the listed ingredients and place them in a high speed blender.
    • Puree into a smooth consistency
    • Serve in a glass or bowl

    Notes and tips

    • Make sure to use pureed pumpkin, not the stuff that comes from the can.
    • To make the pumpkin spice you will need ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ginger, ¼ nutmeg and a pinch of cloves
    • The oats and chia seeds are included to optimise more fibre levels. It also turns a would-be regular smoothie into a breakfast/meal replacement powerhouse.
    • If you are being mindful of calories, use fat free plant based milk and eliminate the oats and chia seeds.
    • This recipe works with any plant based milk - cashew, coconut, almond etc..
    • You can turn this into a green smoothie by adding some leafy greens.

    Frequently ask questions

    I don't want to use banana, is there an alternative?

    Yes, some people make this recipe without bananas by using - mango, dates or even raisins.

    Do I have to use a frozen banana to make this smoothie?

    It's preferred because a frozen banana makes the smoothie super creamy. It's not a huge dealbreaker if the banana is frozen the density is slightly different that's all.

    Is this smoothie gluten free?

    Yes, oats are naturally gluten free however, if you are sensitive to trace or just want to play it safe then use oats that state "gluten free"on the packaging.

    • Dairy free
    • Free from refined sugar
    • It's seasonal!!
    • It's so darn delicious and who doesn't love pumpkin!!

    Notes and tips

    • You can use frozen pumpkin if you can't obtain fresh pumpkin
    • To make the pumpkin spice you will need ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ginger, ¼ nutmeg and a pinch of cloves
