The Pumpkin Smoothie I’m Making on Repeat This Fall

You know we’re obsessed with all things pumpkin: pumpkin bread , pumpkin muffins , pumpkin cookies … and now this dreamy Pumpkin Smoothie has earned a top spot in our fall lineup.

The smoothie is super simple to make and uses pantry and fridge staples like canned pumpkin, banana, Greek yogurt, and a scoop of vanilla protein powder—so there’s nothing fussy or hard to find.

It’s naturally sweetened with a little banana and maple syrup, and the pumpkin pie spice brings all those classic fall vibes in every sip. It’s ultra-creamy thanks to the yogurt and frozen banana, and it’s surprisingly filling with a boost of protein and fiber. If you love pumpkin pie, this smoothie tastes like a healthier, sippable version, but still feels like a treat.

This smoothie is perfect for a quick breakfast, a wholesome afternoon snack, or even a light dessert. Make it extra special with a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top, such a fun treat! Kids love it too, which makes it a win all around. I can’t wait for you to give it a try!

Smoothie Ingredients (with Helpful Notes)

  • Milk : I like unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but oat, soy, or dairy milk all work. Use what you love!
  • Pumpkin Purée : Make sure you’re using pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Banana : Adds natural sweetness and creaminess. Use a ripe one for best flavor.
  • Vanilla Protein Powder : Adds a big boost of protein. Use the code TWOPEAS for a discount on Clean Simple Eats protein powder or Just Ingredients protein powder , but you can use your favorite brand. You can also leave it out!
  • Plain Greek Yogurt : Thick, creamy, and full of protein, this helps create that smoothie-shop texture.
  • Maple Syrup : Just a touch of natural sweetness. You can adjust to taste or skip it if your banana is super ripe.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice & Cinnamon : These spices are what make the smoothie feel cozy .
  • Pure Vanilla Extract : A little splash enhances all the other flavors.
  • Ice : Helps thicken and chill the smoothie for that milkshake-like consistency.
  • Optional toppings : A swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon take this over the top!

Tips for the Best Pumpkin Smoothie

  • Freeze your banana for extra creaminess and a thicker smoothie.
  • Adjust sweetness based on your preference and the ripeness of your banana.
  • Blend in stages if your blender struggles with ice. Start with the liquid and soft ingredients first, then add the ice.
  • Add-ins like chia seeds, flaxseed, hemp hearts, or a handful of spinach blend in easily and boost nutrition without changing the flavor.
  • Top with crushed graham cracker crumbs or Biscoff cookies for pumpkin pie vibes . You can also dip the graham crackers or cookies into the smoothie for an extra special treat!
