Ever since last spring I’ve been dying to get my hands on some canned pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie smoothie. Apparently, when you live in the smack dab middle of no where Ohio, pumpkin is purely a seasonal item. My little heart broke every time I went grocery shopping and saw the “temporarily out of stock” sign where the canned pumpkin should be. What’s a girl supposed to do when she’s having a pumpkin pie craving in the middle of summer!? Suffer I suppose…
Until one day I was visiting Darren. He lives in a bigger city where there is an amazing grocery store similar to Whole Foods. They had organic canned pumpkin! I could have fallen over and died in that moment. I really didn’t think I’d be getting any pumpkin until Thanksgiving!
I finally got to make my pumpkin pie smoothie. YAY! It was delicious and definitely worth the wait.
Yummy, yummy, get in my tummy. This smoothie tastes exactly like a pumpkin pie, just in the form of a healthy smoothie!
And that is one happy CollegeGirl.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
adapted from Oh She Glows and Dashing Dish
- 1/2 C cottage cheese
- 1/2 C milk (I used unsweeted vanilla Almond Breeze, but any milk would work fine)
- 1/2 C pure canned pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- sugar to taste (I recommend a 1-3 teaspoons)
- a large handful of ice cubes
Place everything in blender, and blend until smoothie is smooth. Enjoy!
XOXO,
Jamie
looks delish jamie!
love the glass you poured it in! 
Thanks for commenting Katie! I’ve been a huge fan of your blog for quite a while now
This looks like the perfect breakfast! Thanks
One of the reasons I love Fall so much is because of PUMPKIN… and this looks delicious! I haven’t seen one of these smoothies before and now I can’t wait to try it out! Thanks for the recipe
If you love pumpkin, you will definitely love this smoothie! Let me know how you like it!!
Looks yummmm
Every time I read your posts about smoothies, I feel like I need to get a blender too 
I know it’s a kitchen staple, but living alone, I just somehow never got around to buying one. Anyway, your new blog design looks amazing 
Thank you!! I need to figure out how to index all my recipes and get things organized, but it’s so confusing! I drink a lot of smoothies…that probably stems from my love of all things ice-creamy. You can get blenders for pretty cheap, but those usually don’t crush ice very well. I have a Ninja which you can purchase for like $60-$80. It works pretty well, but I really wish I had a high power blender like a Vita Mix or Blend Tec.
Blenders could really expand your baking/cooking capacity to so many extents! I’ll begin saving up for one
Thanks Jamie!!
