Storage/Reheating
Smoothie bowls are best enjoyed fresh, but you can refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Stir before serving.
To make ahead, blend all ingredients and freeze in a container. When ready to eat, allow to thaw slightly and re-blend to restore the creamy texture.
Reheating is not recommended, as this dish is meant to be served cold.
FAQs
Can I use fresh banana instead of frozen?
Frozen bananas are key for a thick, creamy texture. If using fresh, the smoothie will be thinner and more like a drink.
Is canned pumpkin puree the same as pumpkin pie filling?
No. Be sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
Can I make this smoothie bowl vegan?
Yes, just use maple syrup instead of honey.
Can I use a different milk?
Absolutely. Any non-dairy or dairy milk will work—try oat milk, soy milk, or regular milk if preferred.
What toppings go best with pumpkin smoothie bowls?
Chopped nuts, granola, fresh berries, banana slices, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon all pair beautifully.
How do I make it thicker?
Use less almond milk or add a few ice cubes or extra frozen banana slices when blending.
Can I prepare the smoothie base ahead of time?
Yes, blend the base and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, but give it a good stir or re-blend before serving.
Is this smoothie bowl filling enough for breakfast?
Yes, it contains fiber, healthy fats, and natural sugars to keep you energized throughout the morning.
Can I add yogurt for extra creaminess?
Definitely—try adding a spoonful of Greek or plant-based yogurt for extra protein and richness.
How do I get that bright orange color?
Using a good-quality pumpkin puree and ripe bananas will give you a vibrant natural orange hue.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowls are a delicious way to enjoy the flavors of fall while fueling your body with clean, nutritious ingredients. Quick to make, endlessly customizable, and beautifully seasonal, they’re a perfect choice for a cozy, wholesome meal any time of day.
