- For the best texture, serve immediately after blending.
- Serve your smoothie with some toasted pumpkin seeds and a dollop of whipped cream on top to make your smoothie extra fancy. You can sprinkle cinnamon to add warmth and depth.
- Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of warm spices, including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and sometimes cloves. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice mix on hand, simply substitute it with cinnamon.

- Chocolate: Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to turn this pumpkin smoothie into an indulgent dessert.
- Protein powder: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the blender along with any other ingredients for a nutritious pre or post-workout smoothie. I like using either plain, vanilla, or chocolate-flavored protein powder.
