Are you tired of pumpkin-everything-everywhere-all-the-time yet? I’m not, not yet anyways! The pumpkin love continues with a creamy, vegan pumpkin spice latte smoothie you can whip up in just a minute to get your pumpkin spice fix anytime you need it.
This delicious pumpkin smoothie is made with coffee, almond milk, frozen banana, plant-based vanilla protein powder, pumpkin puree, vanilla and spices for a healthy and frozen twist on a pumpkin spice latte.
Quick and Easy Caramel Sauce
I’ve made this smoothie with a couple different caramel-inspired sauces to drizzle on top. To make sweet, delicious, healthy sauces, I like to mix a nut butter or tahini with either maples syrup, dates or coconut sugar and then thin it out with a bit of water. You can also you coconut milk for an even creamier sauce with more flavour.
These sauces are also awesome on pancakes, overnight oats, chia seed pudding, banana ice cream or sweet potato breakfast bowls.
Here are a couple amazing combos you can try:
- 1 tbsp tahini + 1 tsp coconut sugar, stir in a bit of water or coconut milk, mixing vigorusly until you can drizzle it
- 1 tbsp cashew butter + a few small, pitted fresh dates + a pinch of sea salt, soak dates in a bit of hot water, strain then blend everything together, adding a bit of water or coconut milk to reach desired consistency
- 1 tbsp almond butter + 1 tbsp pure maple syrup + a pinch of sea salt, stir in a bit of water or coconut milk, mixing vigorously until you can drizzle it
Any and all of these combos are amazing! Try almond butter and dates or dates and and tahini, you really can’t go wrong. They will take your creations to the next level!
All you need to make this pumpkin spice latte smoothie is: 1 frozen banana, pumpkin puree, brewed coffee, plant-based vanilla protein, almond milk and some spices. I usually toss in a couple dates for some extra sweetness.
More Creaminess
For even more creamy texture, you can freeze the pumpkin puree in silicone ice cube trays before use. Using frozen pumpkin in addition to frozen banana gives this smoothie an insanely delicious, soft-serve-esque texture.
Even better, freeze the coffee into coffee ice cubes and use those for even more creamy, frozen goodness!
Enjoy this smoothie to power up before a morning workout, to recover after a hard training session or just relaxing at home on a crisp fall morning.
I use this Farmers Market 100% Organic Pumpkin Puree for all my pumpkin recipes. I find it has the best flavour, it’s slightly sweet and nice and creamy.

Ok…..so I made this double for 2 servings, awful, 🙁 Too strong, wayyyyy too much spice, def could make this 1 serving for 2 servings, also, I’d use 1/2 a banana for 2 total, so if you’re using it for 1 serving, I’d do 1/4 of a banana, maybe it was my protein powder, and I am vegan, but ya, not my thing,
As much as the chemicals etc suck, there’s no mimicking them, lol. It wasn’t like so bad I threw it out but I def drank it because. why not. I still give the author an A effort.
Subbed coffee protein instead of vanilla because I prefer it to be coffee forward 😉and threw in some ice and a TBS of almond butter YUM!! Thank you!
I make smoothies almost every single day, and this is absolutely the best one I’ve made yet! Starbucks doesn’t even come close 🙂
Mmm, totally agree! So addictive. So glad you’re enjoying it!
OMG! This is easily the most delicious smoothie I’ve ever seen. I’m off to the kitchen straight after I finish this to make it. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Mari x
