    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    As a busy mom I love having a quick grab and go breakfast option! (Especially one that's high in protein!)

    This Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie is super creamy and tastes like pumpkin pie filling.

    You can also easily double this recipe so you can share with your family! I love that this healthy pumpkin smoothie is blood sugar balancing and keeps me full for 4+ hours.

    • Perfect recipe for pumpkin season!
    • This protein pumpkin smoothie has about 30 grams of protein and 9g of fiber per serving!
    • It's a delicious dairy-free smoothie recipe.
    • Quick and easy option for busy mornings!
    • It's naturally sweetened with banana.
    • Easy to customize for dietary restrictions.
    • It will keep you full for hours thanks to the protein and healthy fats!
    • Enjoy this pumpkin protein shake recipe as a healthy breakfast, meal-replacement, or post-workout snack.
    • Perfect way to use up leftover canned pumpkin!

    🍴Ingredient Notes

    Ingredients measured out for pumpkin protein shake.
    • Frozen Banana - The greener the banana, the less sweet the smoothie will be. For more information, check out my post on how to freeze bananas for smoothies!
    • Water - You can also use a dairy-free milk like unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk. I've found that because of the creaminess from banana and almond butter, water works great!
    • Pumpkin Puree - Make sure you do not use pumpkin pie filling as it contains sugar and spices!
    • Vanilla Protein Powder - My favorite vanilla protein powder is Amy Meyers Paleo Vanilla Protein.
    • Almond Butter - You can use almond butter, cashew butter, peanut butter, or any nut butter you have on hand! For a nut-free alternative try Sunbutter or shredded coconut.
    • Raw Pumpkin Seeds - Pumpkin seeds make a great addition to this recipe, but you could also try using chia seeds, hemp seeds, or flax seeds.
    • Spices - To give this pumpkin smoothie a pumpkin pie flavor, you'll need a combination of cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice!

    🍴Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1: Add Ingredients into Blender

    Start by adding all ingredients into a high-speed blender.

    Step 2: Blend Until Creamy

    Blend on high until the shake is smooth and creamy. Serve in a chilled glass and enjoy fresh!

    Expert Tips

    • If your smoothie is too thin, add more frozen bananas or ice for a super thick and creamy texture.
    • If you don't like thick smoothies, add a little extra water or dairy-free milk.
    • The riper bananas you use, the sweeter the smoothie will be. If you use greener bananas, you'll lower the sugar content and add more dietary fiber.
    • Freeze leftover smoothie in silicone ice cube trays to use for later!
    • For best results, I recommend using a powerful blender like a Vitamix! It creates the perfect smooth and creamy consistency every time.

    I serve all of my smoothies in a large glass to make sure I can fit the entire smoothie! My favorite glass cups are 16 ounces and they fit this smoothie perfectly.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How should I serve this smoothie?

    You can certainly enjoy as is in a chilled glass cup, but it would also be delicious with coconut whipped cream or an extra sprinkle of pumpkin spice!

    When is the best time to enjoy a protein shake?

    I usually make smoothies as a quick grab and go breakfast, but you can also serve as a high protein snack or post workout meal!

    Can I make this a vegan pumpkin pie smoothie?

    Of course! It's already naturally dairy-free, but to make it vegan just swap the protein powder to your favorite vegan option!

    What's the difference between pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling?

    This recipe calls for fresh pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

    The main difference is that pumpkin puree only contains one ingredient - pumpkin! Pumpkin pie filling has added sugar and spices.

    How to store leftovers

    Store leftovers in a glass cup with a lid like a mason jar in the refrigerator or freezer. (It will not stay as thick in the refrigerator.)

    You can also make smoothie ice cubes by pouring leftovers into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze for later! (Or meal prep by doubling the recipe!)

    Blend the frozen cubes with a non-dairy milk for a quick and easy smoothie.
