Holiday Green SmoothiePumpkin pie is a favorite fall treat. Now it can be a healthy smoothie full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants! This recipe makes a perfect meal replacement smoothie for when you’re on the go.

I found that cooked and cooled pumpkin, or organic caned pumpkin had more flavor than raw pumpkin. I have made both and have provided you with both recipes.

Pumpkin Pie Green Smoothie Recipe (Vegan)

  • 1/2 cup organic pumpkin pie mix
  • 1 cup unsweetened, almond milk (or make your own)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach (or other leafy green)
  • 2 frozen bananas

Slice the banana and let the thaw for a few minutes. Blend on high until smooth. Makes approximately 22 ounces.

Pumpkin Pie Green Smoothie Recipe (Raw and Vegan)

To make a raw pumpkin pie smoothie, use 2 cups of pie pumpkin cut into chunks. Soak overnight in water with a tablespoon of lemon juice to help reduce the starchiness.

  • 1 cup raw pumpkin, cubed
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened, almond milk (or make your own)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 bananas, peeled
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 carrot juice
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach (or other leafy green)

Mix ingredients in a blender and blend on high. You may need to add additional almond milk if the smoothie is too thick.

  1. YUM! I love the holidays and pumpkin pie time. To have it in a smoothie would be delectable!

    Cheers,

  2. The recipe calls for canned Pumpkin pie mix. But the intro calls for canned pumpkin. I should be adventurous and try both ways……maybe i will……

    I know they are way different. The mix has all the spices in it…..

    thanks for letting me know…..can’t wait to try.

    Mary – Yes, you’ll have to add the spices to canned pumpkin, but canned pumpkin pie mix is the “cheating” way to making a pumpkin pie smoothie in a hurry. =)
