Using quintessential Fall flavours, this healthy pumpkin spiced oatmeal smoothie will cure all those pumpkin pie cravings.

This protein-packed smoothie is perfect for breakfast or a snack.

While pumpkin spice is all the rage this time of year, I have to say my favourite way to enjoy this seasonal flavour is in this pumpkin spiced smoothie!

If you’re a fan of warming fall spices like cinnamon and nutmeg OR love my Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie, I think you’ll like this smoothie too.

Delicious Pumpkin Smoothie Ingredients:

Pumpkin Puree: The base of this smoothie recipe.

Maple Syrup: For a bit of natural sweetness, maple syrup works best.

Cinnamon & Nutmeg: These warming spices make it taste like pumpkin pie.

Almond Butter: A nice dose of protein in this smoothie.

Oats: Makes this smoothie hearty and filling for breakfast.

Almond Milk: You could also use regular milk or coconut milk.

Vanilla Protein Powder: This is optional but makes the smoothie just that much more creamier. I especially like to use Botanica Health’s plant-based protein powder if I’m enjoying this smoothie post-workout and to keep me full for a couple of hours. You could substitute a tablespoon or two of plain greek yogurt instead of protein powder.
