The quintessential autumn treat – a creamy and delicious Pumpkin Pie Smoothie!

Made with just a few simple ingredients right in your blender.

This pumpkin pie smoothie is thick, rich, healthy and creamy, and it tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass.
When you’re craving pumpkin pie but don’t have time to make one, this is a fine substitute. I wonder what my family would say if I served this pumpkin pie smooth on Thanksgiving with a dollop of whipped cream instead of pie! Once they taste it, I bet they wouldn’t mind 🙂

Does canned pumpkin have to be cooked to be safe to eat?
Canned pumpkin puree is already cooked in the canning process so there’s no need to cook the pumpkin before using. Just scoop it straight out of the can! If you don’t use the entire can right away, trying freezing the remaining puree in an ice cube tray lined with plastic wrap. Pop a few in the blender next time you make smoothies and eliminate some of the ice cubes. Yum!
Thanks for PINNING!

We freeze purée in silicone ice cube trays, pop out once frozen then ziplock for quick pre-measured doses for smoothies, soups and sauces. Our tray is 1/4 cup per cube. We also do this for tomato paste in a chocolate mold. Works out to a teaspoon per form which is great portions for cooking for two…I mean how often do you use the whole 6 ounce can of tomato paste? We use a ziplock with a snipped corner to pipe it into mold. If we used more butter I would do it for that too to avoid over consumption at the table. I imagine you could even do mashed potatoes this way for pre-portioned meal ready freezer food.

Great tips Debbs! Love the mashed potato idea too 😁

Thank you John – have a great week!

What could be more perfect than a healthy pumpkin pie? Need to make sure I have plenty of pumpkin on hand- this smoothie sounds addictive. 🙂
Tricia Buice
I just love this smoothie Betty! Hope you enjoy it too!

HEIDI GAGNON
Hi Tricia,
I cannot wait to go to the grocery store, pick up some of those ingredients and make myself and my hubby a delish pumpkin pie smoothie. I also included my email to be included in all of your delicious recipes. Hope all is well and Ed is recovering nicely. Thanks again!!
Tricia Buice
Hi Heidi! Thanks so much for commenting – it’s great to hear from you and thanks for signing up for emailed posts. So happy to have you be a part of our SRFD family 🙂 Ed is doing much better today, the worst is over. Have a wonderful week and enjoy the smoothie. I love it and also love that you can sweeten it as much or as little as you want with your favorite maple syrup, honey, sugar or whatever! Enjoy!
Monica
This sounds like a wonderful treat, Tricia. It’s such a great recipe because if you bake with pumpkin puree, you’re bound to have some leftover. I had envisioned a piece of pumpkin pie blended up for a second but I’m glad to know that isn’t the case and there’s actually all this good stuff like yogurt, banana, and pumpkin in it…and yet it tastes like pumpkin pie! I love feeling like I’m having something decadent when I’m really not…(I’m having trouble loading the video but will try again!)
Tricia Buice
Thanks Monica. I love this every year and look forward to leftover canned pumpkin so I can make this. You can make it as sweet as you like so it would taste more like pie but I love the flavor with just a little honey. Hope you were able to see the video – I checked it on my desktop and iPhone and it seems to be working. Sorry!
Becky Green
SUPER VIDEO, TRICIA!!! 😉 I was expecting to hear your voice! LOL Your Pumpkin Smoothie looks WONDERFUL!!!! I’ll HAVE TO try this one! 😉 I think my hubby would like this one too.
Tricia Buice
Haha Becky – you won’t catch me doing any voice overs 🙂 Thank you so much for the kind words. I love this smoothie and can’t wait to make it each fall. Hope you like it too and thanks again!
Gerlinde @Sunnycovechef
I have never had a pumpkin smoothie, but yours looks so delicious that I might have to try it.
Tricia Buice
I can’t wait until pumpkin time comes around each year so I can make these again. I really love them and find them filling and satisfying. Thanks for stopping by Gerlinde!
cheri
Hi Tricia, love your video, the music everything. Way to go. Also this smoothie looks delicious, can’t wait to try myself.
Tricia Buice
Thanks Cheri! It was fun to make and thank goodness my husband is a great editor – he did amazing things with my funny video!
Chris Scheuer
The smoothie looks amazing and would really be perfect any time of the day, breakfast, lunch, dinner or for an evening snack. Bravo, the video is awesome!
Tricia Buice
It’s a tasty treat for sure Chris. Hope you’re having a lovely trip.
Jennifer @ Seasons and Suppers
What a perfect way to start the day (or end it!). Sounds perfect for any time of day and I’m all about the pumpkin flavours right now. LOVE the video!!
Tricia Buice
I have loved this smoothie for years and whenever there is just a little leftover pumpkin – this is what I make. Thank you so much Jennifer!
Dom
what a lovely idea… i’d assumed you’d just a whole pie in the blender but clearly I was wrong! We don’t really do the whole pumpkin pie thing here in the UK but this i’m sure will catch on!
Tricia Buice
We do love our pumpkin here in the US Dom – hope you get to try this someday!
