The Ingredients

Pumpkin PIe Smoothie Bowl ingredients with labels
  • Pumpkin Puree – You can use canned pumpkin or homemade Roasted Pumpkin Puree. I personally think the homemade pumpkin puree has more flavor than the canned versions, which sometimes depending on the brand, can be a bit too watery.
  • Banana – The banana adds thickness to the smoothie and makes it filling so that this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie can be a meal on its own. It’s a healthy way to start your day!
  • Milk – Although I made this version with low fat milk, you can use vegan plant based milks if you prefer.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix – I love the complexities of the spice mix instead of flavoring it with just cinnamon. In this homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix, you will find two versions – the classic one and one that has a little more kick and spice to it. Personally, I am partial the the spicier version of Pumpkin Spice Mix.
  • Honey – Depending on the ripeness of your banana, no sweetener will be needed. However, if your banana is not very sweet, a little sweetener may be needed. You may also use other natural sweeteners like agave syrup or monkfruit sugar.

How to make a Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl

  • Spices – If you don’t have Pumpkin Pie Spice, you can make it yourself with this Pumpkin Spice Mix Recipe or use only ground cinnamon and/or ginger. However, it is much more flavorful with the pumpkin spice mix.
