As the leaves change color and the air turns crisp, there’s no better way to embrace the flavors of fall than with a Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl. This smoothie bowl combines the creamy, rich taste of pumpkin pie with the nourishing benefits of a smoothie, making it the perfect breakfast or snack to start your day on a cozy note. Packed with wholesome ingredients like pumpkin puree, bananas, and almond butter, it’s as nutritious as it is delicious.

Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie:

• 2 frozen ripe bananas, peeled prior to freezing
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
• 1–2 medjool dates, pitted
• 2 tbsp almond butter
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)
• 1/8 tsp allspice (optional)
• 1/4 cup oat milk (or any plant-based milk)

Toppings (Optional):

• Granola
• Pumpkin seeds
• Crushed pecans
• Sliced banana
• Almond butter

Directions

1. Blend the Smoothie:

• Start by adding all the smoothie ingredients to a high-speed blender. The frozen bananas give the smoothie a thick, creamy texture, while the pumpkin puree and spices bring the flavors of fall into every spoonful.

2. Blend Until Smooth:

• Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to ensure everything is well incorporated. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more oat milk to reach your desired consistency.

3. Serve the Smoothie Bowl:

• Once the smoothie is blended to perfection, pour it into a bowl or divide it between two bowls if you’re sharing. The vibrant orange color is as pleasing to the eye as the flavors are to the palate.

4. Add Toppings:

• Now for the fun part—toppings! Customize your smoothie bowl with your favorite toppings like granola for crunch, pumpkin seeds for a seasonal twist, crushed pecans for a nutty flavor, sliced banana for extra sweetness, or a drizzle of almond butter for a creamy finish.

5. Enjoy:

• Grab a spoon and dig into your Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl. Enjoy the rich, comforting flavors of pumpkin pie in a healthy, refreshing form that’s perfect for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or even dessert.
