A rich and creamy smoothie that’s perfect for fall! This vegan pumpkin spice smoothie is sweet, spiced, and made with just 6 healthy ingredients.
I know I know, it isn’t October yet. Usually I try to hold off on the pumpkin til then. But liiiiike, we can ease in with a smoothie, right?
Glad you guys get me.
This vegan pumpkin spice smoothie is simple and quick, but perfectly sweet and spiced. It’s a healthy way to get all that pumpkin spice flavor you love in creamy dreamy smoothie form.
Ingredients for a vegan pumpkin spice smoothie
- Frozen banana: a ripe, frozen banana gives the smoothie a bit of sweetness and super creamy texture.
- Pumpkin puree: pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A and gives the smoothie even more creamy, rich texture.
- Complement protein powder: protein helps make the smoothie more satisfying and gives a thick texture. I do have a discount code you can use on your Complement order, it’s definitely the highest quality plant-based protein you’ll find! You can use a different vegan powder, but because Complement is totally unflavored, a different protein may change the flavor slightly.
- Ground flaxseed: I love adding flax to smoothies because it’s super nutrient dense and a great source of omega 3s.
- Pumpkin pie spice: pumpkin pie spice gives this smoothie lots of classic fall flavor.
- Nondairy milk: a bit of milk helps bring the smoothie together. I use unsweetened almond milk for a neutral flavor, but any nondairy milk should work.
Tips for making a vegan pumpkin spice smoothie
- Make sure you freeze the banana when it’s VERY ripe. Because it’s the only ingredient sweetening the smoothie, you want to freeze the banana when it’s super ripe and spotty.
- Feel free to add a bit more/less liquid to get a texture you like. If you like a thinner, very drinkable smoothie, you may want a bit more milk, and if you like it super thick (or even a smoothie bowl), add less.
This vegan pumpkin spice smoothie is super rich and creamy, and the perfect amount of sweet + pumpkin spiced. The texture is seriously so thick and decadent, it reminds me of a milkshake more than a smoothie!
A super healthy way to start any fall day.
