Pumpkin Pie In A Glass
Description
This pumpkin pie smoothie combines key pumpkin pie spices with pumpkin purée, creating a familiar autumn flavor profile. Coconut and almond milk provide a creamy, dairy-free base, and vegan vanilla protein powder thickens the drink with additional nutrition. Blending with ice cubes results in a cold, refreshing texture.
Finished smoothies can be topped with shredded coconut, pecans, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup for added texture and taste contrast. It works well as a quick energizing option or a light treat that offers pumpkin flavor without baking.
You can customize the thickness by adjusting the amount of almond milk. Substituting other non-dairy milks is possible as well. Using pumpkin puree rather than pie filling keeps the flavor natural and less sweet. For fewer calories, omit toppings and use almond milk in place of canned coconut milk.
