Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Smoothie
This Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is the only way to say hello to the best time of the year! It’s officially Pumpkin season.
Most people say the first day of Fall is when Starbucks releases their much anticipated PSL. To be totally honest with all of you I’m not a big coffee drinker, the minority, I know. The first time I ever tried a Pumpkin Spice Latte was a few months ago when I stopped at Starbucks with a friend. I ordered mine with almond milk and delighted in the massive amounts of sugar. To be totally honest, it was just “okay”. It might have just been that I really don’t like coffee.
That latte got me thinking, ‘why have I never made a pumpkin smoothie?’ I love all things pumpkin, it only makes sense to have a yummy pumpkin drink with a little less sugar and a little more health benefit. I decided to throw on my favorite leggings, an oversized sweater and boots before I started throwing things in the blender and before I knew it I had a pretty yummy replica. Sans the coffee of course!
Everyone will love this Pumpkin smoothie, because its delicious and its easy to make.
Start off by getting your ingredients together and add them into your Vitamix Blender and blend until smooth. I think its best when served with a sprinkle of cinnamon for an amazing bonus flavor.
These smoothies are perfect to bring to a friend, and watch how they will instantly brighten their day. After all, is it even Fall without Pumpkin?
I hope you enjoy this yummy treat, with or without coffee!

Making this when I’m done nursing and using my oils in place of spices can’t wait
Pleas don’t sub spices for essential oils. There is no value in this and it can cause internal damage to sensitive linings internally.
I have two questions for you. First, what does the coconut oil do the the flavor/texture? Second, the other option is adding two cups of coffee. Do you sub this for something? That’s a lot of liquid.
This is amazing delicious smoothie for breakfast!
If you add in the coffee do you subtract any of the other liquids? Or add more ice? Thanks!
If you add coffee you’ll want to make sure it’s cold. 🙂
Cold why? can it be made to be a hot drink please tell us! would love it hot
Where are you seeing to add coffee? I can’t find that on the recipe, though it could be because I’m on a mobile device. Thanks.
I’m going to try this with Chai tea instead of the coffee (I’m also not a coffee drinker. Thanks for the recipe!
How did it taste with the chai tea? I am not a coffeee drinker either.
I purchased the meal bundle
How Can I print all the recipes off?
I’m not that great with computers and would do better with them printed and in a binder
Also is there a quick shopping list for ingredients needed for each week of meals
I made this and loved it! Is there a way to make it a hot latte? I see in your comments to make sure the coffee is cooled and it’s made with ice. This time of year I’d love a recipe for hot pumpkin lattes like the ones I’m trying to avoid at Dunkin’ Donuts!
I would also like to know the answer to this!
I made frozen “coffee cubes” instead of the ice cubes or plain coffee! perfect solution!
Can you sub the maple syrup for honey or agave?
Sure! The agave might taste a little bit better than the honey when substituting. When you using maple syrup or agave as a sweetener you don’t notice it as much in a recipe like this but honey has a very bolt flavor so you will notice more of a honey pumpkin flavor. If you love honey I’d say go for it but if not I’d substitute the maple syrup using agave. 🙂
I really want to try this but I am diabetic. I could substitute for agave like suggested but Im afraid that also might be to much sugar. Any other suggestions?
Hi Sarah,
You can substitute with any other sweetener that is approved by your doctor. 🙂
I will try with sugar free maple syrup looking forward to it
