Vegan Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (V, GF, DF): a 6 ingredient recipe for creamy, thick pumpkin pie smoothies bursting with fall flavor. Vegan, Paleo, Gluten Free, Dairy Free.
Smoothies. Doesn’t seeing that word just make you happy? Like, if you had a bad day, found yourself walking home from work, and saw a hot pink, neon-lit sign that said, “Welcome the fall with our new Pumpkin Pie Smoothies!” Wouldn’t that make you feel better?
Never mind that the sign should actually be orange or brown because: Fall. But let’s just say that sign was neon pink because that color is an instant mood-lifter. And anyway, you saw that sign. You would instantly perk up. Why? Well, smoothies are kind of like an adult-way of enjoying a milkshake, but without the guilt and with plenty of feel-good vibes.
True, not all smoothies are actually good for ya. But around these parts, they ARE. And bonus: they’re crazy delicious. So you might already know that I have a thing for smoothies. And… I might just have a smoothie for every occasion. Most notably, a strawberry smoothie (okaaaaaaay, milkshake) for my sister Jenny’s birthday, a smoothie (bowl) for my mom’s epic mango tale in Hawaii, a smoothie for childhood reminiscent good times, and more!
As such, it would be an unforgivable atrocity to not have a smoothie for—wait for it—PUMPKIN PIE. Currently, I’m in the throes (yep, throes) of testing a pumpkin pie worthy of your Thanksgiving table. It’s got to be all the things and more, because: Thanksgiving. I don’t want you glaring at my pumpkin pie recipe as you’ve already maxed out your glares on that super dry tofurkey and your Uncle Lester’s interesting comments about your “career.”
In the meantime, I’m gonna tide you over with a super-duper easy to make vegan pumpkin pie smoothie. It’s so perfectly creamy, thick and refreshing that it will simultaneously:
1) keep you motivated at the gym (yep, I’m trying to kick butt at this exercise business before all of that social gatherings business rears its lovely head)
2) satisfy your deep-seated craving for all things fall, AND…
3) get you excited about the season!
Yay!! Have you ever seen one—just ONE—smoothie do all of these things and more? –> Child of infomercials here. Please forgive me. And if you make this now, you won’t get one, but TWO smoothies!! Plus a fanny pack full of pumpkin-shaped treats!!! I kid. I kid. But you could probably make these smoothies, and be so energized/jazzed about fall that you MUST run out and get that fanny pack, then proceed to stuff it with pumpkin-shaped treats.
If you do, you totally have to take a pic and share it with me. #JustSayin
Also of super important note… Happy Birthday, Jeanie!! Jeanie’s one of my sweetest readers and since she totally loves all things no-bake, I thought… what better way to celebrate than with a bake-free pumpkin pie treat? Have a fantastic week, nay, a most fantastic birthday month, Jeanie!
In other news, have you guys noticed the dramatic change at the grocery store? Literally, the second I walk in, the entire place smells like Fall heaven. Think: warm cinnamon, pumpkin spice, a dash of cloves, melty caramel and… Fall Bake Love. The second I smell all of those smells, I have to whip my head around like an excited puppy, I can barely stand it. Everywhere, there are stacks of mini pumpkins, cinnamon-scented cones (so that’s where that smell was coming from), pumpkin cookies the size of my face (that’s HUGE, guys), and like… All the Fall Things.
And lately, 50% of the time that I go, canned pumpkin is SOLD OUT. Seriously, there’s like a huge, gaping hole in the shelf where canned pumpkin used to live. People are running through the store with arms full of pecans, pumpkin pie halves and baking frenzy in their eyes. <–And you know I know exactly what this looks like.
Did fall start way earlier this year, or what? Anyway, let’s all hop on the fall bandwagon together and make this vegan pumpkin pie smoothie. Because… we don’t want to get left behind! J/k. Let me shower you with bullet points (a most terrifying visual, I’m sure) about why you would love this!
My Vegan Pumpkin Pie Smoothie is:
- made with just 6 ingredients. Yep, counting the spice and vanilla. Which kinda doesn’t even count, riiiiight?
- vegan, paleo, gluten free, dairy free
- creamy and perfectly thick
- chockfull of your favorite feel-good ingredients
- spiced to perfection
- plant-based and allergy-friendly
- just like drinking pumpkin pie… but smoother, yay!!
Blend up a batch and start putting together that fanny pack! Okay, that’s optional. But not. But is. Excuse my over-exuberance about fall. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this recipe. While I wait, tell me all about the seasonal changes around your town. Anyone seeing banners advertising a Fall Fair? Or perhaps huge tables of caramel apples at the grocery store? How about some vegan pumpkin pie?? Alright, that’s sooo hard to find! Alas, you’ll just have to try this amazing Vegan Pumpkin Pie from my talented friend Erin at Texanerin Baking! So much better than storebought!
Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter. ❤️

K says
November 8, 2017 at 7:16 pmOnly tasted the banana in this recipe. Wanted to like it but had to keep adding more more pumpkin, syrup and spice to get it to taste remotely like pumpkin. By that point it was far from healthy lol thanks for the recipe though

Demeter | Beaming Baker says
November 9, 2017 at 7:33 amHi K, so sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy this recipe. 🙁 If you ever do try it again, maybe use less ripe frozen bananas, or sub one of the bananas with frozen yogurt cubes? Thank you for your feedback. Hugs!

October 10, 2017 at 12:17 pmIs there a way to get the nutritional breakdown (calories, fats, carbs and proteins) per serving? Just made these and they are yummy!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
October 11, 2017 at 12:44 pmHi Jen, I’m currently working on adding nutrition info across the site, but it’s gonna take awhile. Thank you for your patience. 🙂 In the meantime, you can use this online calculator. You can just copy and paste the url for this post! 🙂

Stephanie | The Foodie and The Fix says
October 2, 2016 at 1:50 pmAahhh, this sounds so fantastic! I definitely share your love of smoothies. They have a history of making me feel better when I’m feeling down, for sure… starting way back in the day when I used to work in the mall and would grab an Orange Julius when I was having a rough night! This smoothie is definitely all the fall things 🙂 My favorite dessert flavored smoothie?? I’d say a toss up between pumpkin (you wrote this for me, right?!) and key lime pie. 😉
★★★★★
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
October 2, 2016 at 3:22 pmAahhhh, thanks so much Steph! 🙂 Erik and I call smoothies “magical elixirs.” They’re so refreshing, ya know? 🙂 Oh dude, I totally forgot about Orange Julius! Why would that tasty orange goodness not perk you right up? 😉 UM, YEAH, of course I wrote this just for you. Duh. 😉 Key lime pie??? Okay, I’m gonna have to whip that up next summer. Remind me, please! Bog hogs. xo
Jessica @ Jessica in the Kitchen says
October 2, 2016 at 1:33 pmOh my gosh – GREAT minds think alike because I totally have a pumpkin pie smoothie coming up! How could I not like you said?! Totally atrocity to not have one. The flavours here look SO delicious and yes smoothies make me SO happy friend!!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says

Vivian | stayaliveandcooking says
October 1, 2016 at 6:57 amIt’s definitely Fall and Pumpkin season: pumpkin recipes everywhere! Love this smoothie Demeter, and if it makes you feel any better: they don’t sell canned pumpkin at ALL in Dutch supermarkets 🙁
Katherine says
September 30, 2016 at 9:28 pmHits all the yum factors for me! . Thanks, I’m going to make them this weekend for us.

Meghan | Fox and Briar says
September 30, 2016 at 1:49 pmI went to Trader Joe’s yesterday and I swear they had 300 pumpkin spice products. Pumpkin EVERYTHING. It was a little out of control. But I can’t be mad because I love pumpkin things in the fall, esp this smoothie! You mean I can basically drink a pumpkin pie?? Sold.

Demeter | Beaming Baker says
October 1, 2016 at 7:43 amGoodness gracious! Take me with you!!! There aren’t any TJ’s ’round these parts… but I surely do wish there was! I wouldn’t be mad either! I can only imagine how hard it was to resist buying everything. 😉 Drink up! 😉
Evi @ greenevi says
September 30, 2016 at 10:43 amYes, yes, yes!!! This is definitely my smoothie! Pumpkin and coconut is all I need right now 🙂

September 30, 2016 at 11:51 amThanks Puja! Can’t wait to hear what you think! 🙂
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
September 30, 2016 at 7:29 amSmoothies definitely make me happy, especially when they’re filled with pumpkin! But I hear you on the not-so-healthy ones…kind of like salads. Everyone thinks salads are healthy, but in reality, most of them probably aren’t with that creamy dressing and loads of toppings. But I LOVE that you created a healthier version of my favorite fall treat. Looks SO good, Demeter! Pinning to try out!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 30, 2016 at 11:43 amYou are a true fan of pumpkin, G! I love that about ya! 😉 Yep, we definitely have to watch out for those sneaky salads. Thanks so much Gayle! Can’t wait to hear what you think when you try it out. 🙂
Megan - The Emotional Baker says
September 30, 2016 at 7:06 amOh my goodness!! I’ve experienced the pumpkin shortage too – so frightening 😉 I just restocked so I’m excited to try this smoothie – I have yet to perfect this flavor, but I have confidence you nailed it!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 30, 2016 at 11:34 amIt’s such a shocker too! Three weeks in a row they’ve been sold out–one second, the shelves are full, the next, all gone. People are in a pumpkin frenzy here, I say! Lol. My family loves this smoothie, so I’m confident I did (they can be quite honest… lol). Thanks Megan!
Megan - The Emotional Baker says
October 8, 2016 at 1:42 pmJust made this smoothie, Demeter! & just as I suspected, it was perfect 🙂 Hope you’re having a great weekend!

October 8, 2016 at 2:45 pmThat’s awesome, Megan! I’m so, so happy you enjoyed it. 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend as well. <3
Karen @ Seasonal Cravings says
September 30, 2016 at 6:56 amWhy is the pumpkin always sold out at the grocery store? It’s the weirdest thing. This creamy smoothie screams fall to me and looks so satisfying. Yummy!

Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 30, 2016 at 11:30 amRight?? Especially lately it’s been seriously sold out. Thanks Karen! I hope you get a chance to try! 🙂
Natalie | Natalie's Food & Health says
September 30, 2016 at 2:25 amAs I say it before … you kicking with pumpkin recipes 😉 As a matter of fact, we ALL kicking it with pumpkins hahaha 😀 Must try your smoothie with coconut milk. I love coconut <3 Pumpkin – coconut combo is heaven!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 30, 2016 at 11:28 amAw, thanks Natalie! 🙂 Heck yeah, we are!! Any excuse to include coconut and I will! 😉 Thanks friend!
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
September 29, 2016 at 12:34 pmSooo I’m not going to lie. I read your words, “you saw that sign” and immediately, ‘I saw the sign’ by Ace of Base got stuck in my head and I couldn’t pay attention to anything else you wrote. I had 90’s fever and couldn’t stop myself from jamming out in my office chair. So thanks for that… I think? 😉 Anyways, you and pumpkin. I’m starting to think I’ve been replaced as your bestie. I mean I was REALLY worried about strawberry taking my place for a little bit there, and now I have pumpkin competing for my spot in your life. Bahahaha. <3 I kid. Again, I think??? Okay so aaaanyways, this smoothie looks fabulous, girlfriend! I mean even for being pumpkin flavored and all! 😉 I made a pumpkin pie martini last year and I LOVED it, so I'm thinking I would reallllly love this smoothie! Gotta give this one a try!! Pinned! Cheers, my little pumpkin flavored streusel buttercup of love. XOXO

Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 29, 2016 at 6:39 pmLOL. Of course you would! And darn it… now it’s stuck in my head too! And I’m already listening to music. How do you do it?? Lolol. Uh… you’re welcome?? 😉 You will always be my bestie, and I will simply have pumpkin waiting peacefully at the dinner table… or something. Haha. You’ve GOT to make a version of that martini!! It will be AMAZING. Thanks my cinnamon glazed sweet roll filled with candied pecans! xoxoxo
Natalie | Natalie's Food & Health says
September 30, 2016 at 2:20 amAND now it’s stuck in my head too! Lol 😀

September 30, 2016 at 11:27 amShe’s infected us allllll!!! Lol
Natalie | Feasting on Fruit says
September 29, 2016 at 11:27 amMy favorite pie turned into my favorite drink with the addition of my favorite fruit–you better believe I have a big smoothie-craving smile on my face over here. Plus a little coconut milk takes any smoothie from delicious to DEEEEELICIOUS! Yep, coconut milk means we have to pull out the extra Es because it makes things so rich and scrumptious. With that spiffy fanny pack you mentioned and my smoothie in a travel mug I’ll be good to go for a completely fueled by pumpkin day (as if I need a travel mug because I actually leave the house lol.) Good luck with the non-smoothie pie-making. xo
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 29, 2016 at 6:31 pmSo many faves, I’m just squeeing for you right now! 🙂 🙂 Smoothie-craving smiles are the best, aren’t they? DEEEEELICIOUS <-- Yep, this is what I was hoping for! Imagine the two of us, leaving the house (maybe) with our fanny packs and travel mugs. TOO. COOL. Lol. Thanks Nat! xoxo
Marsha | Marsha's Baking Addiction says
September 29, 2016 at 10:05 amYep, this smoothie would instantly lift my mood any day! Because pumpkin, and allllll the autumn flavours! Another gorgeous and delicious smoothie recipe, Demeter! 🙂

Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 29, 2016 at 6:15 pmYeah! There’s nothing quite like sipping something sweet and satisfying. 😉 Thanks so much for the kind comments, Marsha! 🙂
Jessica @ Citrus Blossom Bliss says
September 29, 2016 at 9:59 amI enjoy how simple this recipe is 😀 I was actually at the gym this morning at 5am getting my cardio on and was glued to the TV watching infomercials (infomercials might be my favorite thing about TV…) and a popular blender brand was promoting how healthy and great their SUPER JUICES were and how delicious of smoothies it makes. Needless to say, I went home and made myself a PB and banana smoothie with a scoop of oats for breakfast and it was LOVELY! Tomorrow might have to be a pumpkin smoothie day!
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 29, 2016 at 6:08 pmYay for simple recipes! So funny that you enjoying watching the informercials. There really is something quite unique and captivating about them… Lol. your smoothie sounds awesome! I hope you get to try this and love it, Jess. 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
September 29, 2016 at 9:24 amOkay, well smoothies doesn’t bring me smiles, but pumpkin does! Haha!
It is odd to walk into the grocery one day and see SUMMER, then the next you see FALL. The little Fall elves must come out and totally revamp the store during the night for these quick turnarounds 😛
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
September 29, 2016 at 6:07 pmThat’s too bad! Not a smoothie fan, then I take it. 😉 Thank goodness for those elves, spreading their joy. 😉
