I adore all things pumpkin and all things sweet during the fall. When I combine the two, it feels like my mouth is having a party. I find so much comfort in knowing cold and gloomy weather can be dealt with a simple treat. That’s all it takes for me, a yummy food item to take my mind off of a cruel Mother Nature move. They call comfort foods “comfort” for a reason, right?
And you know what else I find great? To be able to prepare these treats on my own, on the spot, without having the need to go out and buy them at the nearest coffee shop or restaurant. I love being able to quickly put things together, with ingredients readily available. Here is a tasty Paleo Pumpkin Smoothie recipe for you, easy to make and, well…comfort-full 😉

I am sitting here and Im starving (what else is new? 😉 ) and it’s also raining here, so you better believe I am about to whip this up RIGHT NOW!
Haha! I love it!
What a wonderful recipe! I’m presuming you could use raw or cooked pumpkin?
Hi Brett! Thanks so much. You could use either, but for this recipe I recommend raw pumpkin 🙂
Awesome! Pumpkin pie in a cup! I also made a latte (hot drink) version of this. I added strong coffee, a room temp banana, and omitted the ice. Then I blended everything on the “hot soup” setting! Wah-lah!
I used canned, organic pumpkin. Where do I find raw pumpkin?
Great tip Jennifer! I’ll have to give that a try, sounds awesome! I actually used pure pumpkin too…for some reason I typed “raw” pumpkin, when I meant “pure” pumpkin 😉 – just corrected the typo in the ingredient list 😉
I’m still confused about the pumpkin. 🙂
Raw pumpkin is pure pumpkin. Do you use cooked pumpkin?
From the colour of your smoothie, I am guessing you used canned pumpkin. I’m not sure raw would give a nice smooth texture . . .
I use raw (canned).
This is fantastic! I have been looking for a good pumpkin smoothie — I stocked up on pure pumpkin after thanksgiving and was waiting for the perfect recipe to use our stash.
I didn’t have the ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, or allspice. I replaced the missing flavor with a teaspoon of coconut extract and a half scoop of chocolate whey protein powder. So delicious!
Hi Dave! Thanks for the comment. That sounds delish…glad you now know what to do with your pumpkin ;).
Just made this, and it is delicious! My 2 year old and I shared a glass 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Emily! Aww, that’s so cute. 🙂 Glad you two shared this little one. Its a really healthy recipe!
Soooooo good! New Paleoite here just loving the way I feel eating better foods. Not missing grains as much as I expected thanks to awesome blogs like yours! Looking forward to trying more recipes. 🙂
YAY! Feeling good is the best! So happy to know you like this smoothie and the way it makes you feel. 🙂 Thank you for the comment, Genie!
