Creamy Pumpkin Smoothie: Spiced Autumn Drink Recipe

I’m so ready for fall, and this extra thick and creamy Pumpkin Smoothie is how I’m starting my morning today.

If you enjoy smoothies, there’s no reason you can’t savor this classic fall flavor first thing. This Pumpkin Smoothie delivers that seasonal taste in a smooth, drinkable form.

Pumpkin recipes are everywhere this time of year, and this Pumpkin Smoothie recipe is a simple, satisfying way to enjoy pumpkin any morning or afternoon.

I prefer my smoothies thick and creamy, and this Pumpkin Smoothie with banana hits that mark. The banana and Greek yogurt make it silky, while pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice bring the cozy fall flavors.

Smoothies are a great snack

Breakfast smoothies are quick and easy to make, but this Pumpkin Smoothie isn’t limited to mornings. It makes a lovely midafternoon pick-me-up, a satisfying after-school snack, or a light option if you expect a late dinner.

With protein from Greek yogurt and natural sweetness from banana and honey, this smoothie helps carry you through the day. I use thick Greek yogurt for an extra-creamy texture, then add a splash of milk to reach the consistency I want.

Between the pumpkin puree and the Greek yogurt this smoothie tends to be quite thick, so adjust the milk amount to make it as thick or thin as you prefer. For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk, rice milk, or another plant-based milk.

Homemade Smoothie Sweeteners

I avoid overly sweet smoothies because too much sugar undermines the healthy appeal. For this recipe I use a little honey, but you can sweeten it with the sweetener you prefer. Taste the smoothie before serving and adjust the sweetness as needed.

To tweak the sweetness, blend a small taste from the blender first. If you’d like it sweeter, add a bit more honey or your chosen sweetener and blend again until it suits your taste.
