    Fall is my favorite time of year. 

    The leaves start changing color, the weather starts to cool down, and, best of all, pumpkin season arrives! I love cooking and baking with pumpkin, so I'm always looking for new recipes to try. 

    This keto pumpkin smoothie has quickly become one of my favorites. 

    It's perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, and it's really satisfying.

    Give it a try yourself and see how you like it!

    Ingredients

    • Greek Yogurt: Make sure you use plain, unsweetened full-fat Greek yogurt to keep this smoothie low carb and keto.
    • Pumpkin Puree: This adds a delicious pumpkin flavor. Make sure you use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
    • Heavy Whipping Cream or Almond Milk: The heavy cream will make the smoothie richer and thicker, while the almond milk will keep it light and refreshing.
    • Maple Syrup Substitute or Sweetener of Choice: I use a maple syrup substitute to sweeten the smoothie without adding extra carbs, but feel free to use your preferred sugar-free sweetener.  Liquid stevia is a great option.
    • Peanut Butter or Almond Butter: This adds a delicious nutty flavor. Use your favorite nut butter, or omit it if you have allergies.
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice: This adds a touch of warmth and fall flavor. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you could use cinnamon.  Don’t forget to sprinkle some on top!
    • Ice: For a refreshing, icy texture.

    Variations

    • You can add in some collagen powder or keto protein powder for an extra boost of protein.
    • For a little crunch, top the smoothie with chopped nuts, chia seeds,  or pumpkin seeds.
    • To make this low carb pumpkin spice smoothie vegan, use a plant-based yogurt and milk alternative. Canned coconut milk makes this extra rich and creamy while staying dairy free.
    • A teaspoon of vanilla extract, nutmeg, or even minced fresh ginger adds a nice pop of flavor.
    • Add two tablespoons of softened full-fat cream cheese for a keto pumpkin cheesecake smoothie.

    Frequently Asked Questions 

    Is pumpkin good for keto diet?

    Yes, pumpkin is a great choice for the keto diet. It's low in carbs and high in fiber, making it a perfect addition to your keto meal plan.
