Ingredients You’ll Need For This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Frozen banana – adds natural sweetness and a thick, creamy texture without needing ice.
Two dates (pitted or heated if firm) – give a caramel-like sweetness and boost of fiber.
¼ cup pumpkin puree – brings that classic pumpkin pie flavor and extra nutrients (frozen works, but canned is just fine).
¼ cup vanilla yogurt – makes the smoothie extra creamy with a hint of tang; frozen or not, it works both ways.
Splash of vanilla extract – deepens the pie-like flavor and pairs perfectly with pumpkin spice.
Pumpkin pie spice – a cozy blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves that ties everything together.
- DIY spice blend: 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ginger, and a pinch of ground cloves.
1 cup milk – keeps the smoothie drinkable and silky; use dairy or your favorite non-dairy option.

How to Make This Smoothie

To make this cozy pumpkin pie smoothie, I grab my personal-size blender and start with a frozen banana for that creamy, milkshake-like texture. Next, I pit two dates (or quickly heat them if they’re firm) and toss them in for natural sweetness.

Then I add about ¼ cup of frozen pumpkin puree and ¼ cup of frozen vanilla yogurt—though if yours aren’t frozen, that’s totally fine; you might just want to add a few ice cubes at the end to thicken things up. Then a splash of vanilla extract goes in.

Then a generous sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for that classic fall flavor. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, it’s easy to make your own blend with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Finally, I pour in about 1 cup of milk—starting with a little less if you like a thicker smoothie, since you can always add more while blending.

Blend everything until smooth and creamy, and you’ve got a healthy pumpkin smoothie that tastes just like pumpkin pie in a glass—the perfect quick breakfast, snack, or fall-inspired treat.

Storage Tips

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight jar or container for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate.
Freezer (smoothie packs): Blend everything except the milk, pour into an ice cube tray, and freeze. When ready, just blend the cubes with milk.
Freezer (ready-to-drink): Freeze in a mason jar or freezer-safe cup (leave space at the top for expansion). Thaw in the fridge overnight and re-blend before drinking.
Meal prep idea: Make two or three servings at once and portion them into jars for grab-and-go breakfasts.
