    If you find yourself looking for a perfect way to use up leftover pumpkin--you have come to the right place.

    How about a Pumpkin Smoothie? You can get that same cozy, spicy flavor you love from pumpkin pie packed into a thick, creamy, smoothie.

    Who can pass on that? Not me!

    While the weather outside doesn't have me craving smoothies as much right now as I do in the spring and summer, I still make them from time to time.

    And since I have plenty of pumpkin sitting around lately, adding it to the mix just made sense. And it was delicious!

    A smoothie can easily taste a lot like dessert--no complaints here on that. And if the dessert is pumpkin pie, who wouldn't want to sip on it!

    This pumpkin pie smoothie is made for two, but it's pretty simple to cut in half if it's just for a single serving.

    Then again, maybe you want it all for yourself. And that is A. O. K. too.

    Also, I have added spinach or greens to the mix before, but just be warned, the color is not the most impressive. It will not look so much like pumpkin pie anymore if you add it, but have at it if you want!

    What you will need:

    • Chia seeds are totally optional.
    • Some people love pumpkin, but most people love pumpkin pie spice and not the actual pumpkin. That is ok, just make sure you add some sweet to make this pleasant. I like to add about 2 tsp. maple syrup to mine.

    How to make this recipe:

    Smoothies are the best. A major no fail kind of recipe. Toss all the ingredients in and blend until smooth.

    Ingredients in blender before and after blending.

    Fun Add ins and Variations:

    • Add a spoonful of almond or cashew butter. I wouldn't suggest peanut butter as I am not sure the flavor would come out right.
    • Add in some greens: spinach or kale. You will lose the pretty orange color. Consider yourself warned.
    • Make it a smoothie bowl! Start with half the milk and use a tamper to help process the smoothie. Top with chopped pecans, granola, and even whipped cream!
    • No pumpkin? You could use sweet potato or butternut squash purée if desired. They will still have a fall flavor and a pretty orange color.
    • Pour your pumpkin pie smoothies into popsicle molds for a fun way to eat your smoothie!
