    My daughters suggested that I try making a pumpkin pie smoothie. One of their friends loves the Pumpkin Smash from Jamba Juice and will drive 30 minutes just to get one! So, I made this delicious copycat recipe that you can make at home any time you want.

    Pumpkin Smoothie Ingredients

    • Frozen Yogurt: Use fat-free, no sugar added frozen yogurt.
    • Pumpkin Puree: Make sure to choose 100% pureed pumpkin.
    • Milk: The milk adds protein and thins the mixture down.
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice: Gives this smoothie the taste of fall!
    • Vanilla Protein Powder: Add for extra protein and flavor.

    How To Make A Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

    First, let’s talk about canned pumpkin. For this pumpkin smoothie recipe, you’ll want to use 100% pure pumpkin. The only ingredient in the can is pureed pumpkin. You may also notice canned pumpkin pie mix on the shelves, but the ingredients include sugar and spices for making a pie.

    ingredients in a blender

    Put the fat-free, no-sugar-added vanilla frozen yogurt, pumpkin puree (I prefer using frozen cubes of pumpkin puree because it makes the smoothie thicker), milk, pumpkin pie spice, and protein powder into a blender.

    Blend the mixture until the pumpkin smoothie is smooth.

    Garnish the glasses with a little extra pumpkin pie spice, and add a straw.

    Other Ways To Make It

    Since this is a copycat Jamba Juice Pumpkin Smash, the only extra ingredient I added was the protein powder, which is, of course, optional. As far as additional ingredients go, here are a few suggestions:

    • ground flax seed
    • chia seeds
    • banana
    • peanut butter
    • smoothie booster

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How can I make pumpkin puree?

    Slice a baking pumpkin in half and remove the seeds and pulp. Lay the two halves face down on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake them at 400˚F for 40-45 minutes, until tender. Allow the pumpkin to cool. Scoop out the pumpkin flesh and puree it in a blender or food processor. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Can I use regular yogurt instead of frozen yogurt?

    Yes, you can substitute the frozen yogurt in this recipe with your favorite yogurt. I recommend adding frozen pumpkin puree cubes. Keep in mind, though the texture and flavor of the pumpkin smoothie will vary from this recipe.

    Can you freeze canned pumpkin?

    Yes, transfer it to an airtight freezer-safe container and store it in the freezer for up to three months. To make frozen pumpkin cubes, transfer the canned pumpkin to ice cube trays. Place the trays in the freezer, and once the pumpkin is frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe container.

    What To Make With Extra Pumpkin Puree

    This pumpkin smoothie recipe only calls for 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree, so that leaves you with the rest of the can. You can store it in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months. I like freezing pumpkin puree in ice cube trays. Otherwise, here are some pumpkin recipes to try:
