Pumpkin Smoothie
As a busy mom, I am always looking for quick and easy breakfast options because let’s be honest it is a struggle to get 5 kids out the door on time for school.
So with that being said, I am a huge fan of smoothies because they literally can go everywhere with me! They are quick and easy to make and I literally just put them in my cup with my straw and out the door, we go!
Not only that, but I love how healthy smoothies are! So with it being fall and pumpkin season, I decided to whip up a pumpkin smoothie the other day and the kids were seriously in love!
So today we are sharing this totally versatile pumpkin smoothie recipe that you can drink like a traditional smoothie (when you are on the go) or transform your taste buds with this pumpkin pie smoothie bowl with toppings (when you have a bit more time)! The choice is yours!
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl
Serves – 2
Makes 2 large smoothie bowls
Prep Time-5 minutes
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl Ingredients:
4 frozen bananas
1 cup canned pumpkin – plain
1 ½ cups milk of choice
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3 Tablespoons honey
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl Garnishes (optional)
These pumpkin smoothie bowl garnishes are totally optional! This smoothie tastes great without, but these garnishes take it to a whole new level! Some of our favorites are:
Pumpkin seeds
Dried Cranberries
Chia Seeds
Banana Slices
Directions for Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl:
- Place all ingredients into the blender and blend on medium-low speed until smooth.
When it comes the bananas it is best to use frozen bananas. I usually just freeze my old bananas after I peel them in individual baggies then I just pull them out when needed.
If you don’t have any frozen bananas you can use fresh ones, you will just want to add a little bit of ice. This allows it to get that extra smooth and creamy texture.
Also, I love 3 Tablespoons of honey, but for some that might be too much and for others that might be too little. So the honey is totally adjustable in this pumpkin smoothie recipe.
- Serve immediately and garnish if desired.
When making a Pumpkin Smoothie or pumpkin pie smoothie bowl you will want to use plain pumpkin. This helps control the flavors.
With this pumpkin smoothie bowl have fun with the toppings. Try pecans, granola, coconut or white chocolate for an extra indulgent treat. Really the sky’s the limit when it comes to your pumpkin pie smoothie bowl.
