Pumpkin Spinach Smoothie Substitution

We know everyone's taste buds and dietary needs are different, so here are some delicious swaps you can try in our amazing Pumpkin Spinach Smoothie!

Pumpkin: Not a pumpkin fan or don't have any at hand? No problem! You can replace the canned pumpkin with equal amounts of sweet potato puree or butternut squash. They both offer a similar texture and a sweet, earthy flavor that will still keep this smoothie feeling like a decadent treat.

Spinach: Although spinach is a mild leafy green perfect for smoothies, you can definitely swap it with kale or chard if you like a bit more of an earthy taste. If leafy greens aren't your thing, zucchini can make a great veggie replacement with a neutral flavor.

Banana: If you're not a banana fan, try using half an avocado instead to maintain that creamy texture. You could also use equal amounts of frozen mango for a tropical twist.

Almond Milk: If you prefer a different type of milk or have an almond allergy, any other non-dairy milk like oat milk, coconut milk, or even dairy milk works great in this smoothie.

Honey: To keep things vegan, you can swap honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. For a low-sugar option, try a natural sweetener like Stevia.

Pumpkin Pie Spice: No pumpkin pie spice in your pantry? You can use a combination of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger instead!

Pumpkin Spinach Smoothie FAQ

Can I substitute fresh pumpkin for canned pumpkin in this recipe?

Yes, if you prefer a less sweet smoothie or if you're watching your sugar intake, you can omit the honey. The natural sweetness from the ripe banana and pumpkin should still provide a pleasant flavor.
