Peachy Pumpkin Smoothie

This creamy Pumpkin Smoothie recipe is a refreshingly scrumptious blend of pumpkin, peaches, and cozy fall spices.

You can thank Fantasy Sports for this Pumpkin Smoothie recipe. One fall night when Mr B was deep into the draft for his leventy-seventh fantasy team (which are not real, guys, in case you were confused), I got bored and I started throwing things in the blender. When I was done, we had this delicious Peachy Pumpkin Smoothie!

This peach-pumpkin combo is super-tasty! It's so good, in fact, that Mr. B actually came back to reality long enough to tell me so.

Pumpkin Smoothie Ingredients

This smoothie recipe is a great way to use up extra pumpkin puree!

• Pumpkin puree: Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will result in more smoothie delicate flavor.
• Frozen peaches: Use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches.
  • Fresh: Peel and slice a large peach and put it into a resealable plastic bag. Freeze for at least an hour.
  • Canned: Drain peaches and put about a one peach-worth in a bowl. Coer and freeze for at least an hour.
  • Peaches aren't just for sweets! Check out our collection of savory peach recipes!
• Pumpkin spice: Just so happens, we have a great pumpkin pie spice recipe!
• Ice cream: You can use vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt for this recipe.
• Sweetener: We used powdered sugar to sweeten this smoothie because it seems to preserve the fresh peach flavor a bit more than honey or brown sugar, but you can use the sweetener of your choice. Adjust the sweetness to your own tastes.

Optional Ingredients

• Coconut: Mr B and I are divided on this one. I enjoy the additional flavor that coconut brings to the table: he doesn't like the mildly gritty texture it adds. "Smoothies should be smooth," as he says.
• Orange zest: A little citrus zest brightens almost everything! Orange, pumpkin, and peach flavors all love one another.

How to Make this Pumpkin Smoothie Recipe

It doesn't get much easier than this: just combine the ingredients in a blender and blitz everything until smooth.

If you use canned peaches, hold off on putting in about half the sweetener until you have a taste. Canned peaches can make your smoothie overly sweet.

Peanut Butter protein powder is a delicious nutritional additive in this smoothie! The pumpkin, peach and peanut butter all taste delicious together.

Equipment

About a decade ago, I made an investment in a top shelf blender that cost the equivalent of a mid-range guitar, and I've never regretted it. A quality blender is a good household investment: it can effortlessly tackle tasks that would bring a subpar blender to a standstill.

You can also blend this pumpkin smoothie using an immersion blender; it just takes a little more time.
