    This sweet and creamy Pumpkin Pie Smoothie is the perfect healthy weight gain smoothie! It has coconut milk for additional calories and hemp seeds protein!

    I NEVER been a fan of pumpkin.  However, this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie has converted me into a pumpkin and pumpkin spice lover!

    How Does Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Taste?

    It tastes sweet like pumpkin pie but healthier! The brown sugar in this smoothie pairs really well with the pumpkin and of course the pumpkin spice adds a depth of flavor as if you were eating a slice of pumpkin. 

    Because of the coconut milk, this pumpkin pie smoothie is also very rich and creamy making it one of my favorite smoothies to make and drink. 

    What Makes This Pumpkin Pie Smooth Good for Vegan Weight Gain?

    There are 3 main ingredients in this smoothie that make it a great healthy weight gain smoothie:

    • Puree pumpkin. Pumpkin is high in vitamin A (beta-carotene) and vitamin C which is essential to any healthy weight gain regimen. This recipe uses canned pumpkin puree but you can make your own! Check out this awesome guide on Not Enough Cinanmon's website How to Make Pumpkin Puree.
    • Full Fat Can Coconut Milk. Coconut milk gives it additional flavor but also added calories and healthy fats.
    • Whole Hempseeds. In my vegan weight gain article, I talk about my love for hemp protein powder. Whole hemp seeds are where that powder comes from and is packed with plant-based protein. d

    An important tip when drinking ANY smoothie is to swish around in your mouth as if you were chewing it. Yes, a smoothie is technically pre-chewed food, however, it still contains fiber so the enzymes in your saliva when chewing your smoothie will help it digest better.

    Substitution, Cook, & Storage Tips

    • Be sure to use can pumpkin puree NOT pumpkin pie filling.
    • Don't like pumpkin? Try this smoothie with sweet potato or butternut squash puree!
    • Omit the banana if you don't want a banana taste in your smoothie. You can substitute with avocado or just leave it out altogether.
    • Using a frozen banana adds a nice chill to your smoothie.
    • Maple syrup pairs well with pumpkin as well if you prefer that to brown sugar.
    • Feel free to use your choice nondairy milk. Note that you will lose some calories if you swap out the full-fat can coconut milk for a substitute.
    • This smoothie is best served fresh as it will thicken the longer it sits. However, you can keep in the refrigerator for 24 hours, max 48 hours. It is NOT freezer friendly.

    Vegan with Curves Star Ingredient

    Full Fat Coconut Milk is the Vegan With Curves Star Ingredient of this recipe.  One cup of coconut milk has over 400 calories!

    To make this more weight loss (waste/weight release friendly) you could:

    • Swap out the full-fat can coconut milk for a lower calorie option (like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk).
    • Use a sugar substitute like monkfruit or erythritol.
    • Totally omit the banana to lessen the number of calories.

      Hey Gina!

      This smoothie is just what I’m looking for, minus the sweet fruits like banana. What can I put in here to make it suit my taste buds? I have sugar issues so I usually avoid the sugary fruits? I’m guess avocado to help it make more creamy?

      I also saw your notee about the coconut milk. Would it be a bad idea to use full-fat coconut milk from the can? I’m trying to increase my calories so anything helps.

      Thanks

        You can absolutely substitute the banana for avocado! I just love banana so it's absolutely okay to sub! And yes I'm actually updating the recipe this Fall to include full fat coconut milk!
