Ingredients For This Healthy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
Pumpkin Pie Filling (canned or homemade)
Frozen banana
Plain Greek Yogurt – It is optional to use vanilla yogurt or a plant-based yogurt to keep this a plant-based recipe.
Pitted dates
Almond butter – I skip the almond milk and use almond butter and dates!
Vanilla extract
Kosher salt
Water
Optional Add-ins
- Boost the protein: Add 1 scoop of collagen, vanilla protein powder, or hemp seeds for extra protein to power your day.
- Up the fiber: Sprinkle in chia seeds for added fiber, protein, and texture.
- Enhance the flavor: Add 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice or cloves for more warmth and those cozy fall vibes.
- For a Decadent Twist: Make this a Pumpkin Pie Milkshake by Swapping the yogurt for vanilla ice cream and water for whole milk or coconut milk.
TIP: Use Leftover Pumpkin Puree
If you have leftover pumpkin puree on hand, use it instead of the pumpkin pie filling!
Just add 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice to bring in those warm fall flavors.
Pumpkin Pie filling has added sugar so feel free to add another date or a drizzle of maple syrup for that extra touch of sweetness in your smoothie.

Whipped Cream: Add a dollop on top for a classic pie vibe.
Pumpkin Seeds: A nutrient-packed garnish and keeping things all things pumpkin.
Granola: For a little added texture and crunch!
