I get a lot of questions on how I stay full on just a smoothie for breakfast. Well, the answer is I balance my smoothies with protein, fiber and fats so they keep me full for hours. I have come up with the perfect combination of ingredients to make my morning smoothies not only taste good, but be extremely satisfying.

This vegan pumpkin pie smoothie is one of my go to smoothies in the fall. It has veggies from the pumpkin and cauliflower. Cauliflower is a great veggie to sneak in your smoothies because you can not taste it in smoothies. For healthy fats this smoothie has avocado, nut butter and a variety of seeds. I also like including seeds in my smoothies because they are also packed with vitamins and protein. This smoothie will leave you feeling energized and satisfied.

This pumpkin pie smoothie is easy to make - like all smoothies. That is another reason why I love having smoothies for breakfast, they take 5 minutes to make. I always make a double serving so I only have to make breakfast half of the time.

I hope you try this recipe, it is one of my favorite smoothies. If you do try it, please leave me a rating and review on this post. Also, give me a tag on instagram so I can repost you.

What protein powder do I use?

I have tried at least 10 different protein powders and my favorite is Sprout Living. I get the vanilla lucuma but all of the flavors are good! I love this one because it is a complete protein source with no fillers or gums. They also use things like real vanilla or cacao so the protein doesn’t taste like chemicals.

How do I store the extra smoothie?

Making a double batch of smoothie is a game changer. I store the extra smoothie in a mason jar in my fridge overnight. You can also freeze the smoothie in a mason jar and thaw it out when you are ready to eat it.
