    Ingredients needed for a healthy pumpkin smoothie

    Making a healthy pumpkin smoothie is easier than you think! It only requires a few simple ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen. Here's what you'll need:

    ingredients needed to make homemade pumpkin smoothie.

    Unsweetened almond milk

    Almond milk is a great dairy-free alternative for smoothies. It has a mild nutty flavor and is low in calories, making it the perfect base for our pumpkin smoothie.

    If you don't like this type of milk, you can also use coconut milk, cashew milk, or any other plant-based milk of your choice to keep it dairy-free.

    Pumpkin puree

    No pumpkin pie smoothie recipe is complete without pumpkin puree! It's rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and fiber. Plus, it adds a delicious creamy texture to our smoothie.

    Make sure to use unsweetened pumpkin puree for a healthier option. You can either use canned pumpkin or make your own by roasting and pureeing a small pumpkin.

    Tip: If you have any leftover pumpkin puree, make a batch of keto pumpkin bread with cream cheese filling! You can also freeze pumpkin puree to use it later.

    Greek yogurt

    Greek yogurt is high in protein and adds a tangy flavor to our smoothie. It also makes the smoothie thicker and creamier. If you're dairy-free, you can omit this ingredient or use a plant-based yogurt instead.

    Make sure you use plain Greek yogurt. Vanilla Greek yogurt sometimes has too much sugar. If you want more of a vanilla flavor, add a small teaspoon of vanilla extract.

    Keto sweetener

    To keep this pumpkin smoothie low-carb and sugar-free, we'll be using a keto-friendly sweetener. There are many options available such as stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener.

    Make sure to use a powdered form of the sweetener for better blending. You can also adjust the amount of sweetener according to your taste preferences.

    Cinnamon

    Cinnamon adds a warm and cozy flavor to our pumpkin smoothie. It's also known for its anti-inflammatory properties and may help regulate blood sugar levels.

    Feel free to add more or less depending on your personal taste.

    Pumpkin pie spice

    To really bring out the fall vibes in this smoothie, we'll be adding some homemade pumpkin pie spice. It's a blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. You can easily make your own by mixing these spices together in the right proportions.

    If you don't have these individual spices on hand, you can also use store-bought pumpkin pie spice.

    Ice cubes

    Lastly, we'll be adding some ice cubes to make our pumpkin spice smoothie nice and cold. This is optional but highly recommended for a refreshing drink.

    Smoothie tips

    Here are some of my best tips when it comes to making healthy keto smoothies...

    • Use your favorite non-dairy milk: Whether you prefer almond milk, coconut milk, or any other non-dairy option, feel free to use your favorite for this recipe.
    • Make sure the pumpkin puree is unsweetened: With all the added sweeteners in this recipe, it's important to use unsweetened pumpkin puree to keep the overall sugar content low.
    • Adjust sweetness to taste: Everyone's preference for sweetness varies, so be sure to taste and adjust the amount of sweetener used in this recipe according to your liking.
    • Get creative with toppings: While this pumpkin smoothie is delicious on its own, you can also get creative with toppings such as whipped cream, chopped nuts, or even a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
    • Add in some extra protein: For an extra boost of protein in your pumpkin pie smoothie, consider adding a scoop of almond butter or some vanilla protein powder. Check out this post to find your favorite protein powder!
