A protein-packed, thick and creamy smoothie that tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass!
Happy 1st Day of Fall!! Like so many, fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. Now that I’m well into my eighth month of pregnancy, I am perfectly happy with cooler temps and crisp breezes. Bring on the stretchy pants!
The other great thing about the arrival of is that I no longer have to feel guilty about cooking with pumpkin. Truth is, at just 35 calories per half cup, we eat it all year round in pancakes, oatmeal, muffins, brownies and more.
It’s a great way to add moisture, flavor and nutrients without adding to the waistline. Of course I haven’t seen my waist in a few months but that’s besides the point.

Ok, I actually made this, and it was AMAZING! Thank you for such a great recipe!
Oh good I’m so glad you liked it Ari!!!! One of my favorites!
I made this this morning and the oats were chewy and bitter! Had to toss it :-(
Oh no Heather!!! We enjoy oats in our smoothies all the time and they have never been chewy or bitter. Do you have a fairly good blender? I’m wondering if you let it go long enough? We seriously eat this all the time so I am truly sad to hear your oats weren’t fully blended and smooth!! My apologies regardless. I hope you try another smoothie!
Yummy! I love how versatile pumpkin is. I bake with it, cook with it, drink it, I think I even have abbody wash that’s pumpkin scented. And lots of different candles. LOL I’d say I have a pumpkin addiction but… clearly that’s obvious and I’m not the only one!
You are definitely not the only one!! I have so many pumpkin recipes coming up!!
I have three ever-hungry teenaged sons who will appreciate this yummy pumpkin smoothie with breakfast this morning. :-)

You are so sweet – Thank you Katie! So glad you like it!!
I love everything pumpkin too. I have got to try that smoothie! Thanks.
I can’t seem to get enough pumpkin!! :)
I’ve never tried using pumpkin in smoothies before but it sure sounds delicious! Oh and I wish this giveaway was opened worldwide, I’m sure I would have found a way to spend this money ;)
Oh man I’m sorry you can’t enter!!! I can’t either so we can commiserate together.
Very appealing to the senses for Fall.
Looks like a good smoothie! Last year I tried my own pumpkin smoothie, but it just wasn’t quite right. Will have to try this one! Your smoothies are always good!
THank you so much – I hope you enjoy!
Sounds delicious! Gotta pick some pumpkin up from the store! ;)
I love having it on hand!! It keeps well in the fridge all week too once you’ve opened a can.
Yum!! I tried making a pumpkin smoothie once, but it wasn’t so good. I think there was too much pumpkin. Definitely trying your version next!
Too much pumpkin?? Is that possible?? Just teasing. :) Enjoy!!
Oh this smoothie looks tremendous, move over blueberries, pumpkin here we come!! Nettie
My thoughts exactly!!
Yum! Love everything pumpkin!
You and me both. :)
Such a great smoothie for fall! Can’t wait to try it! My two year old loves any and all smoothies, so I know he’s going to love this one :)
My son loves them too!! Enjoy!
That pumpkin meme cracked me up!! The smoothie looks good – you know I am always making your smoothie creations so I will definitely be trying this one!
haha isn’t it the best?? I hope you like this one!!
This smoothie sounds fantastic. I’ve only ever added oats to my smoothie once, and it was amazing, why not try it again?! And like you, fall is my favorite season. Pumpkin pumpkin everywhere!
I don’t always remember to do it myself but I’m always glad when I do!! Adds such great texture and flavor.
