Why You Will Love This Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie.
I love pumpkin smoothies, and since you are here, I think you do too.
This smoothie is of course ideal for Fall and Halloween, but you can enjoy it any time of the year.
I make this smoothie often during the winter months when I am craving comfort.
Here are some benefits of this healthy pumpkin smoothie:

Recipe Variations And Smoothie Notes:
You can easily customize this smoothie recipe. I have been making this smoothie for a few years now, and I have had the chance to try multiple variations of it.
Here are some ideas:
- No Banana: You can swap the bananas with mango or avocado. I recommend that you also use frozen fruit, which helps thicken the smoothie.
- Nuttiness: Add a spoonful of peanut or almond butter for a tasty background nutty flavor!
- Boost The Protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for 22g-25g extra protein!
- Chocolate: I recently tried the chocolate-pumpkin combo, and I love it, so I applied it to this recipe and the result was surprisingly amazing. Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the recipe.
- No Pumpkin Spice? Use a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ground ginger for a similar effect.
Equipment:
For this particular recipe, I love using my Nutribullet 600, because I often make a single serving, basically just for me.
However, whenever I have had to double or triple the recipe, I always use a higher-capacity blender.
I have used my Vitamix, Amzchef, and my Wamife blender. All of these blenders worked fine with the smoothie recipe.
