Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe

Pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice make these Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Mason Jars a tasty yet healthy treat! This jar of creamy, smooth, protein packed deliciousness is perfect for crisp fall weather.

What if you could enjoy your pumpkin pie on a plate AND in your cup? Seriously, who would ever know?

I’m a sucker for fall weather, and I have a habit of reviewing other people’s pumpkin pies (or at least that’s my excuse for grabbing a take-home slice- I’m testing it).

So when the chance came to me one morning to whip up a pumpkin-inspired mason jar, I jumped at it!

And with keeping in line with breakfast, I opted for a pumpkin pie smoothie blend that fell off the beaten track.

It was an instant hit with my crew!

Pumpkin Pie Smoothies Are Perfect For

• Fall weather
• Post Workouts
• Great way to use leftover pumpkin puree cans
• Afternoon desserts
• Take on a fall walk
• Enjoying at a football game
• Sippin on with a few soft pumpkin cookies

These pumpkin smoothie jars seriously give the classic pumpkin pie a run for its money.

Blending the maple syrup, pumpkin puree, and spice together gives it that authentic touch while the greek yogurt and banana ooze breakfast appeal.

Now, I was tempted to toss in a few rolled oats but decided because of the richness of the mix that it wasn’t needed. However, I haven’t completely crossed it off my list as for the days I’m looking to take this for my cardio sessions, I add it in for a bulking replacement for protein powder.

Pumpkin smoothie jars are fun to make and will leave your kitchen smelling heavenly!

What To Buy For The Best Pumpkin Pie Smoothies

Looking for the ingredients to give these a try? Here’s what you’ll need:

• Banana– frozen or fresh
• Greek yogurt – plain or vanilla
• Milk – cows, almond or coconut milk
• Pumpkin puree– canned or fresh
• Maple syrup – or trade it out for one of the variations below

How To Create Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Mason Jars

1. Peel and chop your banana and set aside.
2. In a blender, mix together the greek yogurt, milk, and pumpkin puree on low setting until well blended.
3. Next, add in your maple syrup, and banana and continue blending.
4. With your pumpkin pie spice, add in a pinch at a time, tasting the mixture and adjusting the amount to your preference.

You can transfer your smoothie to the fridge to cool and stiffen for approximately 2 to 3 minutes but this is optional.
