Healthy Pumpkin Spice Smoothie Recipe

healthy pumpkin spice smoothie

Since fall is the time for pumpkin to shine, we had to come up with a nutrient-dense, pumpkin spice smoothie! This shake includes a healthy dose of our protein powder, nutrients, and fiber from pumpkin and cauliflower, plus fall flavors thanks to pumpkin pie spice. We opted to use canned pumpkin for this recipe, so it’s easy to make and can be made year-round!

Health Benefits of This Smoothie

Our pumpkin spice smoothie is a nutrient-packed powerhouse. Here’s why it’s a great addition to your diet:

  • Rich in Fiber: Pumpkin is an excellent source of dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps keep you feeling full longer.
  • Loaded with Antioxidants: Pumpkin contains beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that converts to vitamin A in the body, supporting eye health and immune function.
  • Inflammation Reduction: Pumpkin is high in compounds called carotenoids, which help neutralize free radicals. Carotenoids help to fight and reduce inflammation in the body.
  • Low in Calories: This smoothie is a low-calorie option that doesn’t compromise on flavor, making it perfect for those watching their weight.
  • Boosts Mood and Energy: The spices in this smoothie, like cinnamon and nutmeg, are known for their mood-enhancing properties and can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Boosting You Pumpkin Spice Smoothie With Protein

Adding protein to your smoothie is a smart way to enhance its nutritional value, making it more filling and beneficial for your body. Protein supports muscle repair, keeps you full longer, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and boosts metabolism. By including protein-rich ingredients like protein powder, almond butter, or chia seeds, you can transform this delicious fall treat into a balanced, satisfying meal or snack that provides steady energy and supports overall health.

Our reformulated Daily Shake Protein Powder is amazing and packs a nutrient dense punch with just 7 key ingredients. This organic, plant-based protein powder is lightly sweetened with organic monk fruit so you can load up on protein while keeping sugar intake low.

Cauliflower Can be Anything

Cauliflower has found its way into many foods over the past few years – pizza crust, rice, and desserts. Thanks to its popularity, riced cauliflower is now easy to find in the frozen section, and we love it for adding fiber, nutrients, and a nice thick texture to healthy smoothies. One head of cauliflower has 12 grams of fiber per 150 calories. We love adding fiber to morning shakes to improve digestion, feed good gut bacteria, and keep you fuller for longer. Ensuring that your shakes are high in fiber will also help sustain you through lunchtime.
