Cozy fall flavors are always a joy to incorporate into your morning routines. This pumpkin spice smoothie is both creamy and chilled, with the comforting pumpkin spice flavor in every sip. The whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice on top tie everything together.

This smoothie comes together in just two minutes, making it perfect for busy mornings, a quick post-workout treat, or when you're serving a crowd. You can even prep individual smoothie bags ahead of time for an easy grab-and-go option.

I started making these when I had a bunch of ripe bananas and freshly made pumpkin pie spice. Rather than turning everything into muffins, I tossed it all into a blender, and it quickly became one of my favorites. Honestly, this is where most of my pumpkin pie spice goes!

Do you love making smoothies in the morning and you're somehow craving that familiar pumpkin spice flavor? This is the perfect smoothie recipe for you! Follow these easy steps; they're just like your usual smoothie, and you'll have that warm pumpkin spice goodness in each sip.

Combine Ingredients in the Blender

Start by placing all the ingredients into your blender. This includes the banana, pumpkin puree, milk, pumpkin pie spice, honey, and ice. Make sure to add the ingredients in a way that allows for even blending; for example, placing the softer ingredients, like the banana and pumpkin puree, at the bottom can help. Secure the lid on the blender tightly to prevent any spills during blending.

Blend Until Smooth

Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more milk to achieve your desired consistency and blend again. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

Transfer to a Glass

Once the smoothie reaches a smooth consistency, carefully pour it into a glass. You can use a spatula to help guide the mixture if necessary. Make sure to leave some space at the top of the glass if you plan to add toppings.

Top with Whipped Cream and Garnish

Top Tips

Use a Ripe Banana: For the best flavor and sweetness, choose a ripe banana. The riper the banana, the sweeter it will be, which can enhance the taste of your smoothie without needing to add extra sweeteners.

Adjust the Spice: Feel free to modify the amount of pumpkin pie spice based on your personal preference. If you enjoy a stronger spice flavor, add a bit more. You can also experiment with adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for additional warmth.

Make It Creamier: If you prefer a creamier texture, consider using a combination of milk and a splash of cream or a non-dairy alternative like almond milk or coconut milk. This can add richness to the smoothie while still keeping it refreshing.

Storage

To store your pumpkin spice smoothie for later, you can prepare smoothie bags for convenience. Start by measuring out the banana, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and any other solid ingredients. Place these ingredients in a resealable freezer bag.

Next, label the bag with the date and contents for easy identification. You can freeze the bags for up to 3 months. When you're ready to enjoy your smoothie, simply remove a bag from the freezer, add the contents to your blender along with the milk, honey, and ice, and blend until smooth. This method makes it easy to have a delicious smoothie ready in no time!

For a perfect morning pairing with your pumpkin spice smoothie, try a variety of breakfast options that complement its rich, spiced flavor. Prep a bowl of vegan overnight oats, where coconut milk and chia seeds create a creamy texture or a hearty slow-cooker gingerbread oatmeal that pairs cinnamon, ginger, and molasses for a warm start to your day. If you're looking for something savory, a chicken hashbrown casserole brings a satisfying mix of crispy potatoes and tender chicken that balances the smooth, spicy notes of the smoothie.

For those who want to extend the pumpkin theme, try adding homemade pumpkin spice syrup to your morning routine, perfect for stirring into coffee or mixing it into a pumpkin spice latte. You can even make a pumpkin spice cold brew or coffee creamer for a rich, seasonal twist on your usual coffee. If you're looking for a quick, refreshing way to boost your day, a 3-ingredient coffee mocktail can bring in the coffee notes without the caffeine, making it a lovely companion to your smoothie. Don’t forget to sprinkle some extra pumpkin pie spice for that extra seasonal kick!
