Pumpkin Spice Smoothie Mocktail Recipe
This pumpkin spice smoothie mocktail is pretty simple to whip up at home and doesn’t take much effort.
I use basic kitchen tools and easy ingredients to get that creamy, spiced drink I’m craving.
Equipment
- Blender (high-speed is great, but any blender works)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula or spoon for scraping down the sides
- Tall glass or mason jar for serving
- Straws (optional, but I think they’re fun)
I always double-check my blender is clean before I start.
If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll keep a spoon nearby for a little sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg at the end.
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin or pumpkin puree
- 1 cup coconut milk (or any milk you like)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
If I want it thicker, I’ll just add more pumpkin.
If I’m in the mood for something lighter, I go with less milk.
Sometimes, a little extra cinnamon sneaks in for an extra kick.
Instructions
- Toss the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, maple syrup, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into the blender.
- Blend on high until everything’s smooth and creamy.
- Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if you need to, then blend again for good measure.
- Taste it—if you want more sweetness or spice, go ahead and add a bit more maple syrup or spices.
- Pour into a tall glass or mason jar.
- Sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top if you’re into that.
- Serve right away, maybe with a straw.
This smoothie mocktail is definitely best when it’s cold and fresh.
Notes
I always stick with canned pumpkin or plain pumpkin puree—never pumpkin pie filling, since that’s already sweetened and spiced.
If coconut milk’s not around, I’ll swap in oat milk, almond milk, or even regular milk.
Sometimes I freeze the milk in ice cube trays to make the smoothie extra creamy, and it’s honestly a game changer.
For more autumn vibes, I’ll top my mocktail with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.
If I want it sweeter, I’ll drizzle in a little more maple syrup or even a dash of honey.
A dollop of whipped cream on top turns it into a treat.
This recipe is dairy-free and vegan if you use plant-based milk.

Tasting Notes
When I take my first sip of this pumpkin spice smoothie mocktail, the creamy texture stands out.
It’s smooth and cool—almost like a milkshake, but not quite as heavy.
The pumpkin flavor is gentle, not overwhelming.
All those spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger—bring a warm, cozy taste.
I appreciate that the spices don’t overpower the pumpkin; they just balance things out.
Here’s what really jumps out at me:
- Sweetness: Not too much, just enough from the pumpkin and banana.
- Spice Level: Warm, but never sharp or bitter.
- Aftertaste: A little vanilla and a lingering, light spice.
The color is a soft orange, which just looks inviting.
When I top it with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon, it feels like a special treat.
Sometimes, I notice the banana adds a subtle thickness and a mild sweetness, which helps everything blend together.
If I want it extra cold, I’ll add a few more ice cubes, and that makes it even more refreshing without dulling the flavors.
