Creamy Pumpkin Spice Smoothie (Sweetened With Dates)

This date-sweetened pumpkin spice smoothie is creamy and delicious. It’s so easy to make too! Give it a try if you’re craving fall flavors.

Ingredients and Substitutions

I used store-bought canned pumpkin puree, but homemade works too. If you’re using store-bought, just make sure you don’t accidentally purchase pumpkin pie filling because that would contain extra sweeteners and spices.

Pumpkin pie spice gives this smoothie its cozy fall flavor. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, plus 1 small pinch each of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice.

I like to sweeten this smoothie with a couple of dates. You can substitute one ripe banana if you prefer.

You can use any type of unsweetened milk you like in this smoothie. I went with unsweetened soy milk.

I like to add a small pinch of sea salt and a bit of vanilla extract to enhance the other flavors in this smoothie. You can omit either of those ingredients if you prefer.

How to Make a Pumpkin Spice Smoothie

Start by removing the pits from the dates, then add them to a blender. Next you’ll add the pumpkin puree, unsweetened milk of choice, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the blender.

Blend until smooth. Enjoy this smoothie right away or store it in the fridge for up to three days, then stir immediately before serving.
