I love smoothies. And I love pumpkin. So I made this vegan pumpkin pie smoothie last weekend. I still can’t believe that something this delicious can be so easy!
I don’t really like fall and winter (except for the rare sunny days), but at least we get to eat all these delicious cinnamony desserts, and hearty stews and soups. So even if it’s cold, rainy, or snowy outside, there’s something positive about it.
And I mean isn’t it just awesome to snuggle up on the couch with a smoothie that tastes like liquid pumpkin pie?
How much better can life actually get?! Well, sure it can always get better, but isn’t it just nice to feel happy about these little things once in a while?
I actually planned on making a vegan pumpkin pie last weekend, but then we spent the day in the city and came home way later than I expected. This doesn’t happen very often, but I just didn’t feel like standing in the kitchen anymore. So I kind of changed my plans and made this super quick and easy pumpkin pie smoothie with cinnamon instead. It really is just perfect for a lazy weekends. I mean you don’t even have to chew, you can just sit in front of the TV and enjoy this pumpkin deliciousness. Kind of like pumpkin pie for lazy people. ;-)
It’s creamy, thick, packed with flavor, and just so YUMMY!
I’m making smoothies almost every day (Flo even calls me a smoothie addict and I think he’s right), but usually I only make green smoothie with kale or spinach. Of course, I use tons of fruits too like oranges, bananas, apples, and berries, but I rarely make fruity smoothies without any green veggies in it. I think I should do this more often as this pumpkin smoothie was also super delicious without any greens!
You’re only 10 ingredients and 5 minutes away from this delicious pumpkin spice smoothie. Oh and 5 of these 10 ingredients are spices. ;-) The recipe really couldn’t be easier. Put some pumpkin puree, some almond milk, a large banana, some ice cubes, and the pumpkin spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, gloves, and ginger) into a blender and process until smooth. That’s it!
Hope you’re all having an awesome and hopefully sunny weekend! xx
As always, I love hearing from you!

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…
What would Fall be without a pumpkin pie smoothie!? :)
I don’t even wanna think about it, Rebecca! ;-)
Pumpkin smoothie sounds delicious… almond milk and banana. Yum!
Thanks, Ilona! So glad you like it! :-)
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. ;-)
Breakfast! Thanks for the idea. I love pumpkin season. :-)
I love the color of this smoothie, Sina! It sounds like this would make the best breakfast or snack. Love it!
Thanks, Gayle! :-) I just love smoothies for breakfast!
I haven’t tried a pumpkin pie smoothie yet but I keep seeing them everywhere! I’ll take that as a sign ;)
Haha! Yes, I guess this really is a sign, Genevieve! :-) You’re really missing out. They’re so delicious! ;-)
I love, love, love this! Looks so vibrant and delicious!
Thanks so much, Annmarie! So glad you like it! :-)
I would love to start my day with one of these. Drinkable pie?! YES PLEASE!
So glad you like it, Annie! :-) What would be better than drinkable pie, right? Easy and just as delicious!
Love the vivid colors and wholesome ingredients of this smoothie!
Thanks, Callie! :-)
I have never had a pumpkin smoothie, but this looks like something I could get hooked on! Yum. And what a pretty color.
Thanks, Amanda! I just love these fall colors! :-)
Wow, this looks so rad! Sounds amazing!

Thanks, Sofie! So glad you like it! :-)
I love smoothies and this pumpkin pie one sounds absolutely delicious! Love the pretty color – it’s perfect for fall!
Thanks, Kelly! I do too. Smoothies are just awesome! Such an easy way to get tons of vitamins! :-)
I love the idea of lazy liquid pumpkin pie. I have a busy day planned tomorrow and I think this is the perfect treat for my afternoon down time.
Thanks, Sabrina! :-) So great to hear that you like it. Let me know if you give it a try.
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!
Thanks, Harriet! :-) I love pumpkin pie, but this is so much easier and also healthier!!
What a great looking, nutritious and delicious smoothie! Will definitely try it!
Could I use full fat coconut milk from can? I don’t have almond milk
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. ;-)
Looks amazing, Sina. I love pumpkin smoothies, but yours looks extra yellow and inviting :)
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!!
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!
Glad you like it! This sounds like a great smoothie! :-)
is the pumpkin puree just whizzed up raw pumpkin?
Hi Lesley,
I’m so sorry for the late reply. No, it’s actually cooked pumpkin that is pureed.
