This Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie is sweet, creamy & delicious. Packed with protein and flavored with pumpkin, cinnamon and maple syrup.Pumpkin smoothie in a glass topped with whipped cream and cinnamon.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the last few days indulging in Halloween candy – picking through your kids’ trick or treat goodies or raiding the extra candy that wasn’t given away (I might have hoarded the peanut M&M’s). But now I need to hit the reset button.

It’s time for a

Healthy Pumpkin Smoothie

Let’s take a break from candy bars and sip on a smoothie that tastes like pumpkin pie! I figure if we’re going to transition from candy to a smoothie, that smoothie should at least taste like pie. Here are the primary flavors in this smoothie:

  • Pumpkin
  • Maple syrup
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla

Although this smoothie tastes similar to pumpkin pie, it’s surprisingly healthy! It’s packed with protein (from protein powder or collagen peptides) and it’s made thick and creamy with a frozen banana and ice.

I topped my smoothie with a little dollop of whipped cream just to make it that much more pumpkin pie-like, but if you want to cut the calories down even more, feel free to leave it off.
