Soy milk – Helps with blending. You can use any plant milk you like!
Apple cider – Lends nutrients and a deep, sweet-tart flavor that goes well with this healthy vegan pumpkin pie smoothie.
Pumpkin spice syrup – You can also make one from scratch! This boosts the pie flavor of our vegan pumpkin smoothie.
Alternatively, you can use maple syrup to sweeten your smoothie.
Ground cinnamon and ground ginger – Of course, pumpkin drinks are incomplete without warm spices!
Vegan graham crackers – They step in as the crust for a true pumpkin pie feel in every sip!
Vanilla bean paste – To round out our spiced pumpkin smoothie drink. You can also use vanilla extract.
Whipped coconut cream topping:
Full-fat coconut milk – You’ll need canned full-fat coconut milk. It whips up easily into a rich, dreamy topping that’s perfect for this pumpkin pie smoothie vegan recipe.
Agave nectar – Feel free to use your favorite liquid sweetener. Granulated sugar might make the whipped topping grainy.

Ingredient Additions & Substitutions For Vegan Pumpkin Smoothie

Tips For Making This Recipe
Check Your Canned Pumpkin
Make sure you grabbed a can of pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling! Pie filling has extra ingredients that will make it hard to control the flavor of your vegan pumpkin pie smoothie.
Use a Powerful Blender
This vegan pumpkin smoothie is best made in a high-powered blender. A weaker one will need extra blending time to get the smoothest consistency.
Use Pumpkin Pie Spice
Instead of measuring multiple spices, just use pumpkin pie spice!
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Vegan Recipe FAQs
Can I use homemade pumpkin puree?
Of course! If pumpkin is in season, there’s no reason not to use homemade puree for this vegan pumpkin spice smoothie. Just strain it well to remove the excess liquid that might make the blend watery.
Are you supposed to freeze tofu for vegan pumpkin smoothie?
We kept the tofu unfrozen for this smoothie with pumpkin puree, but freezing it works if you want your vegan pumpkin pie smoothie extra thick and almost ice cream-like.
Do I have to use silken tofu?
Of course! Silken tofu is our secret ingredient to make a creamy vegan pumpkin smoothie without banana. Do not use regular tofu as it won’t blend properly, and your drink will end up grainy.
Can I use something other than tofu?
If you’d rather not use tofu in your pumpkin pie drink, try frozen bananas, avocado, or dairy-free yogurt.
Can you put greens in this vegan pumpkin smoothie?
Of course! You can add a handful of spinach to this healthy pumpkin drink. Just note that it will change the smoothie’s color.
