GREEN PUMPKIN PIE SMOOTHIE
Green Pumpkin Pie Smoothies are my favorite smoothie, no question. I love all the spices, they aren’t too sweet, and I have green and orange vegetables checked off the list first thing in the morning.
No need to wait for the fall to make this smoothie. I make pumpkin recipes all year. Why lose out on this healthy and low calorie veggie just because it’s “seasonal?”
Green smoothies are my favorite breakfast. I don’t like sitting down and spending time having breakfast while I am trying to start my day, but if I want to have veggies, I am limited in portable options.
A smoothie is easy to digest, for those of us who aren’t really breakfast eaters, and packed full of nutrients to start the day on a good note.
I make these smoothies creamy with frozen banana, coconut milk, and then add a bit of whey protein to boost it’s staying power.
The spices are what really take is over the top — of course, use pumpkin pie spice if you have it on hand. I just throw in some cinnamon, ginger, and then a little freshly grated nutmeg — what a smell to wake up to!
This smoothie is a delicious way to get orange and green veggies in before you leave the house in the morning! It's mine and my toddler's favorite breakfast. I add whey protein to mine, and to his, a few teaspoons of coconut oil to up the healthy fats.

INGREDIENTS
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup coconut milk canned
- 1/4 cup water or almond milk
- 1 banana chopped and frozen
- 2 cups spinach
- 4 ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- fresh nutmeg to taste
- 5 grams whey protein
INSTRUCTIONS
- Add yogurt, coconut milk, and almond milk or water to a blender. Then add spinach, ice, and frozen banana. I layer the ingredients liquids first, then spinach, then frozen pieces on top of the spinach to weigh it down, and this is the way it blends the easiest.
- Add spices and optional protein powder, and blend until the mixture is very smooth and the spinach is entirely broken up in the mixture.
- Serve with whipped cream or coconut whipped cream for a special treat.
NOTES
- I generally double this recipe and find that my blender does better with the larger amount, and my son and I share it. **To make a layered smoothie, keep the spinach out of the mixture. After blending, pour half of the smoothie into a cup, and then add the spinach to the half left in the blender and blend until very smooth.
