Notes

Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

For the healthiest results, avoid using pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree. It's loaded with sugar and additional spices we don't need.

How do I make this into a smoothie bowl?

To make a smoothie bowl instead of a regular smoothie, simply half the plant milk when adding ingredients to a blender. This will yield and nice, creamy texture.

Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

Yes. You can prepare it in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake or stir before drinking as it may separate.

How can I make the easy pumpkin smoothie thicker?

If you prefer a thicker texture, you can add more frozen fruit or a handful of oats. Or you can reduce the amount of liquid.

How can I boost the protein content in this recipe?

To increase protein for a nutritious breakfast or snack, simply add some plant-based protein powder, hemp seeds or nut butter (thick peanut or almond butter). You can also just add a handful of nuts.
