Every year, including this year, I get super excited for pumpkin season and all things fall. Where we live, though, it's always still really hot in September.

That's why I love this Keto Pumpkin Smoothie. It's a way to enjoy all the flavors of fall while still being cool and refreshing.

Topped with whipped cream or coconut whipped cream, it's the perfect treat for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up!

Or if you're looking for more low-carb pumpkin recipes, I think you'll love these pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin cupcakes recipes!

And this dairy-free Keto Pumpkin Cheesecake from Tessa Domestic Diva looks delicious too! Or if you're looking for dairy-free drink ideas, this Punch and Cozy Hot Spiced Cider looks yummy, too 😀

The sweetener

For the sweetener, I prefer to use Allulose or Powdered Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend because they taste just like sugar with no aftertaste!

If using an erythritol-based sweetener, be sure to use the powdered variety so the smoothie isn't grainy.

If using pure allulose, you'll need to add a bit more because it isn't quite as sweet as other sweeteners.

I also like to add a small drizzle of Besti Sugar-Free Maple Syrup. It adds a slightly warm, maple depth of flavor with NO weird sugar-free aftertaste! It's optional but highly recommended.

Ingredients

For the low-carb smoothie, you'll need:

• Pure Pumpkin Puree - Be sure not to use a pumpkin pie mix!
• Avocado - Look for a ripe avocado that is firm with a slight give. And don't worry, you can't taste it at all! It just adds thickness and healthy fats 🥑 Or replace it with ¼ cup of full-fat unsweetened Greek yogurt.
• Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk - Cow's milk is a bit high in carbs, which is why I recommend non-dairy milk.
• Low-Carb Sweetener -I prefer to use Allulose or Powdered Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend because they taste just like sugar with no aftertaste! And if you like stevia (it can be an acquired taste), you can use a little less powdered sweetener and add a few drops of stevia.
• Pure Vanilla - Try to use pure vanilla and not the imitation variety if possible.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice - Warm, fall flavors.
• Cinnamon - Because pumpkin pie spice never has enough cinnamon!
• Ground Cloves - Optional, added flavor.
• Collagen Peptides Or Unflavored Protein Powder - Added protein.
• Besti Sugar-Free Maple Syrup - Adds a deep, warm flavor with NO weird aftertaste!
• Ice Cubes - For blending.

Easy instructions

Step #1: Blend all ingredients in a blender on high until smooth, thinning with additional non-dairy milk as needed.

Taste and adjust the sweetener and spices as desired.

How to serve

Serve the keto pumpkin smoothie with whipped cream or coconut whipped cream for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack.

If you want to be extra fancy, add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a few cinnamon sticks!

Storage

This low-carb pumpkin smoothie is best served fresh, but it can be made the night before. Just store it in an air-tight container in the fridge and give it a good stir before drinking.

Frequently asked questions

Substitutions and variations

This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, and keto. However, here are some substitutions and variations to make it compliant with other diets as well:

• I developed this recipe using unflavored protein powder. However, I'd imagine vanilla protein powder would also work! If using vanilla protein powder, start with no sweetener and no vanilla. Then, taste and add both as needed. You may not even need any!
• Paleo: Use pure maple syrup and replace the sweetener with softened Medjool dates. Start with one date, then add more as needed for sweetness.
• Vegan: Use vegan protein powder or add 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts for added protein.
• Not in love with avocado? Replace it with ¼ cup unsweetened full-fat Greek yogurt! It will thicken it up nicely and add a slight tang!
• If you like stevia (it can be an acquired taste), you can use a little less powdered sweetener and add a few drops of liquid vanilla stevia.
• Replace the ice with frozen coffee cubes for a pumpkin spice latte smoothie!

Top tips

• For the sweetener, I prefer to use Allulose or Powdered Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend because they taste just like sugar with no aftertaste! If using an erythritol-based sweetener, be sure to use the powdered variety.
• If using pure allulose, you'll need to add a bit more because it isn't quite as sweet as other sweeteners.
• While the keto maple syrup is optional, I highly recommend it!
• If you're new to adding avocados to smoothies, don't be scared! You cannot taste the avocado AT ALL. It only adds thickness and healthy fats to the smoothie.
• Be sure to use a ripe avocado without brown spots. Otherwise, it will make the smoothie taste "off". When picking out avocados, they should be firm with a slight give. Also, look for avocados that still have the stem attached. If the stem is missing, it’s more likely the avocados have brown spots on the inside.
