Pumpkin pie spice: A signature blend that delivers the classic autumn essence—cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves combined.
Milk (dairy or nondairy): Acts as the perfect liquid base, helping everything blend to velvet smoothness.
Pure maple syrup: Infuses a natural, rich sweetness with those complex caramel notes that pair beautifully with pumpkin.

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Start with a frozen banana for the creamiest texture, and measure out all your wonderfully fragrant spices and smooth pumpkin puree. Using cold ingredients helps keep your smoothie thick and refreshing without needing extra ice, which can water down the flavor.

Step 2: Blend It All Together

Place all ingredients in your blender in the order listed—this helps everything blend evenly. Pulse a few times, then blend on high for at least three minutes. You want a perfectly smooth texture with no chunks of banana or pumpkin left behind. Don’t hesitate to stop and scrape down the sides to make sure every bit is incorporated.

Step 3: Adjust the Texture and Taste

If you feel it’s too thick, simply splash in a little more milk to thin it out to your liking. Prefer it thicker and colder? Toss in an extra ice cube or two. Give it a taste and add a pinch more cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice if you want to punch up the cozy flavors even more.

It is topped with a generous swirl of white whipped cream sprinkled lightly with brown cinnamon powder. A yellow and white striped paper straw is placed inside the glass on the right side. In the background, there are two more glasses of similar smoothies, one with whipped cream and one without, all on a white marbled surface. A striped beige and white cloth is casually placed on the right side near the glass.

Garnishes

Elevate your smoothie with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few crushed graham crackers on top for that instant pumpkin pie vibe. A dollop of whipped cream (regular or coconut-based) makes it feel like a luscious dessert, while a cinnamon stick makes a charming stirrer and adds aroma.

Side Dishes

This smoothie pairs beautifully with a handful of spiced nuts or a warm, buttery muffin for a balanced snack. You could also serve it alongside a slice of your favorite pumpkin bread or cozy oatmeal to keep the fall theme strong.

Creative Ways to Present

For a fun twist, serve your Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe in a hollowed-out mini pumpkin for a festive touch. Or layer it in a clear glass with granola and a drizzle of maple syrup to turn it into a parfait-style treat. Using mason jars with twine and cinnamon sticks tied around the rim makes for an Instagram-worthy fall presentation.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with extra smoothie, pour it into an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. It’s best consumed within 24 hours to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors and creamy texture before separation occurs.

Freezing

You can freeze the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe in portion-sized containers or ice cube trays to have grab-and-go frozen treats ready for busy mornings. When freezing, leave some space at the top as the liquid will expand slightly.

Reheating

Smoothies aren’t typically served warm, but if you prefer, you can thaw frozen smoothie portions in the fridge overnight and then stir gently before drinking. Adding a splash of milk helps revive the creamy consistency if needed.

FAQs

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree?

Fresh pumpkin can be used, but you’ll need to cook and puree it first until smooth. It’s less concentrated than canned puree, so the flavor might be milder and you may want to adjust the spices to boost that pumpkin pie taste.

Is there a dairy-free version of this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe?

Absolutely! Swap the vanilla Greek yogurt for a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond, and use your favorite dairy-free milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk. The flavors blend just as beautifully.

How can I make this smoothie sweeter without using maple syrup?

If you prefer, substitute the maple syrup with honey, agave nectar, or even a couple of dates blended in for natural sweetness. Adjust according to your taste and dietary preferences.

Can I prepare this smoothie the night before?

While you can blend it ahead, the fresh spices and flavors are at their peak right after blending. If preparing in advance, store it chilled and give it a quick stir or reblend before drinking.

What blender do you recommend for this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe?

For the creamiest, smoothest results, a high-powered blender is ideal. I love blenders that can crush ice effortlessly and blend all the ingredients into a silky texture in minutes. However, even mid-range blenders will do fine if you blend long enough.
