This Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is naturally dairy free, quick, easy and full of flavor! The creamy banana combined with the pumpkin, pumpkin spice and dates is oh so delicious. With this recipe, you can have breakfast or a snack in a cup within 5 minutes.
I absolutely love all of the flavors of fall! I have a huge sweet tooth but I also have to be careful about how many sweets I eat in a day or it can cause me to not feel well. Are you interested in having a slice of pumpkin pie but don’t have the time or want the additional calories, this is the perfect recipe for you! This smoothie is refreshing with all of the delicious fall flavors I adore.
If you are looking for additional fall recipes, some of my favorite I have created are: Gluten Free Orange Cake, Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread, Gluten Free Pumpkin Cake, Gluten Free Apple Muffins, Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookie, Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins, and Apple Oatmeal Bake.

Ingredients
- Canned pumpkin-Be sure to get the regular pumpkin and not pie filling. Also check and make sure there are not any funky ingredients in it.
- Pumpkin spice-In my opinion, the best part! If you are not a big spice person you can use cinnamon or leave it without.
- Coconut milk-I love the Trader Joe’s canned milk, but any kind of milk will work.
- Banana-To make the smoothie a little thicker. I suggest a frozen banana if you like your smoothies cold.
- Dates-Make sure you take the pit out!
- Ginger-Fresh ginger is so good for the gut. It also adds a nice kick to this recipe.
- Collagen peptides-I like to use this in place of protein powder. You can use regular protein powder if you would prefer that.

Expert Tips
- Tip #1: You will need to ensure that you purchase pitted dates or remove the pit prior to blending.
- Tip #2: The collagen peptides add additional nutrients to this smoothie without changing the flavor.
- Tip #3: You can save additional time by preparing smoothie bags with all of the ingredients except dairy free milk pre measured and placing them in the freezer so when you want a smoothie you simply dump and pour in the coconut milk and blend!
Recipe FAQs
I suggest keeping it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an air tight container. You will want to make sure to shake it before drinking.
I love to store my smoothies in glass cups that have twist on lids so they are air tight!
I have had this blender for years and still love it! All of the varying attachments make sure it is versatile to use for numerous recipes without needing multiple machines.
Of course! A great way to add more nutrients without changing the flavor is adding fresh spinach or frozen cauliflower! You won’t even realize it is there.
This recipe is so versatile! It is great on its own or is a refreshing addition to a snack of Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies.

Hope says
DELICIOUS!! Thanks for this AIP friendly pumpkin smoothie! Confession – I used almost a whole can of pumpkin and 4 dates vs. 2, and 3 scoops of the Great Lakes collagen vs. 2, and did not increase the coconut milk. What happened was less “smoothie” and more mousse! 😁👍🏼 My husband and I both loved it! I think it would make an excellent raw pie filling, perhaps with another date and another scoop of the collagen. SO GOOD!
Allianna Moximchalk says
I am SO glad you enjoyed it Hope! The mousse sounds delicious!
