First Step: Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender.

Second Step: Process until smooth and serve immediately.

Pumpkin Smoothie – Recipes Notes:

  • You can achieve the best results by using a high speed blender for this pumpkin smoothie. I used my Vitamix and it came out super creamy and silky.
  • I tried this recipe with homemade pumpkin puree as well as canned pumpkin puree. It didn’t surprise me that the one with homemade puree was much better! Usually, I just make a big batch in my Instant Pot and freeze it for later. Just let it sit on the counter overnight or for at least a few hours to defrost. You could also add it to the blender when it’s still frozen. However, this way your pumpkin smoothie will have a different texture and you also don’t have to add ice cubes. Check out these step-by-step instructions for making homemade pumpkin puree if you haven’t made it before.
  • I listed the spices for this pumpkin smoothie (ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves) separately. If you want you could, however, also just use store-bought pumpkin spice.
  • If you want this smoothie to be more refreshing, you can use a frozen banana instead of one at room temperature.

  1. liquid pumpkin pie … that’s the best description I’ve ever heard of a smoothie!

    fall in my neck of the woods is either cold and dreary or cold and brilliant. not much middle ground.

    • Haha! It really tastes like liquid pumpkin pie. It’s just a lot easier to make! ;-) Right now it’s more like cold and dreary, haven’t seen the sun in quite a while…

  4. The perfect pumpkin sip! And i even have all the ingredients in my kitchen right now! My smoothie addiction is intense right now too, I need to make them more interesting and fall flavored. Lately I’ve been doing one green smoothie and one more decadent smoothie a day, so I will have to toss this one in the mix :)

    • So glad you like it, Natalie! :-) I’m usually only making green smoothies, but this is so great for a change! I really need to try more flavors! Let me know if you give it a try. ;-)

    • Haha! Yes, I guess this really is a sign, Genevieve! :-) You’re really missing out. They’re so delicious! ;-)

  11. I have never had a pumpkin smoothie, but this looks like something I could get hooked on! Yum. And what a pretty color.

  15. What a delicious smoothie recipe Sina! I’ve never tried a pumpkin pie flavoured smoothie before, that’s such a great idea. I love how healthy it is too, and that it’s sweetened with dates and bananas. Yummy!

    • Hi Kelly, Sure! I don’t see why this wouldn’t work. It will be a bit different and richer in calories with full fat coconut milk, but I’m sure it will also be super delicious! :-) I love using coconut milk for smoothies, but I usually only use the thin milk and save the thick part for curries etc. Let me know how it turned out. ;-)

    • Thanks, Audrey! :-) It was the first time I’ve ever tried a pumpkin smoothie and I absolutely loved it. I should have tried that waaaay earlier!!

  19. Thank you for this idea for a smoothie! I have been wanting to try silken tofu in a smoothie and finally tried it yesterday. I used pumpkin, sweet potatoes, mixed berries and soy milk with spices. It was very tasty and creamy, though the berries make the color a bit off!
