Creamy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Published: Nov 14, 2013 · Modified: Jul 23, 2017 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Pumpkin, pumpkin, all the pumpkin! I still can't believe I was pretty pumpkin illiterate just a couple of years ago! I never really ate anything pumpkin except a slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. Now I am pretty sure pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors and ingredients to cook with. You can use it for anything and everything, sweet or savory! And look at the benefits of this round orange wonder!

Now I know there are millions of Pumpkin Smoothie recipes out there in the blog world, but I still wanted to share my version with you! The more the merrier right? Plus mine is special. Mine is green! I felt bad taking away the beautiful orange color, but I just can't drink a smoothie with out my greens. So not only is this smoothie packed with the benefits of pumpkin, but also the benefits of spinach! Double the nutrient power 😉

Creamy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Pumpkin Smoothie 1

Ingredients: (serves 1)

+ ½ Cup Pumpkin Puree (Frozen) I had a ½ cup frozen in a plastic baggie and just ran it under hot water for a few minutes to thaw it a bit.

+ 2 TB Vanilla Protein Powder

+ ⅓ to ⅓ Cup Water

+ 2 Handfuls of Spinach

+ 1 Tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

+ ½ Tsp Cinnamon (+ more for topping)

Pumpkin Smoothie 4

Directions:

+ Place the pumpkin, water, spices, and protein in the blender. Add you spinach last, and then blend baby blend! This smoothie comes out so creamy, it is delicious!

Pumpkin Smoothie 3

Plus it is green, which makes everything even better 😉 (And no, you don't taste the Spinach!)

Pumpkin Smoothie 2

So tell me:

What is your favorite way to make a Pumpkin Smoothie?

Ever try a sweet potato (or other squash) in a smoothie? I am all for it, just haven't gotten around to trying it out yet!

Greens in your smoothie? Always and forever!

    I need to try this. I have wanted to try a green smoothie and failed at one or two attempts. Maybe this will work? 🙂

    Stopping by from sitssharefest and I pinned your post to the SITSgirls Fall Sharefest board this morning.

      Just add a handful to start and add more greens as you get comfortable!

    Pumpin is something I rarely eat...although I do enjoy it. Vanilla and pumpkin sounds like a great combo!

    I can see from the comments that your pumpkin post is a real hit! I too had a limited view of pumpkin for many years, but now I have a new "passion for pumpkins"--from smoothies to soups to desserts! I just made a great pumpkin smoothie yesterday and now I will have to try your recipe as well. Plus the seeds make a delicious seed milk!
    Thank you again for partying with us at Live it up at the "Healthy, Happy, Green & Natural Party"! I am happy that you were a part of this! Looking forward to seeing your wonderful posts again.
    All the best!

    I love making these and sweet potato pie smoothies! I always add spinach - great way to add greens. People are always shocked when you can't taste it! I've also been adding fresh ginger. It's really good for inflammation and digestion.

      I know! But so many people still won't give it a try, crazy! I have never tried fresh ginger, but I use the powdered spice a lot 😉

    I have only dabbled in smoothie making. I think this might be a good way to sneak in some veggies. It will be kind of weird, seeing green, but tasting pumpkin, but I think it's a good way to start increasing my veggie intake. And I do love pumpkin!

      O you must try it! Don't let the color discourage you! You can always start with less, give it a taste and then add more once you see how awesome it is 😉
