A simple pumpkin cheesecake smoothie is a healthier version of many heavy fall flavored drinks you’ll see around this time of year.
This season is jam-packed with sweet treats and fun drinks that may just overwhelm even the biggest sweet tooth. So, if you’re looking for something to keep in the spirit yet not have too much sugar, you’re in the right place.
You can also check out my article on how to Have a Healthy Halloween. There we’ll talk about how to balance all the desserts that you encounter this season without feeling as though you’re missing out- or having a pound of sugar every day!
You can enjoy it with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or add a dollop of whipped cream to make it more of a dessert!
Pumpkin Cheesecake Smoothie Ingredients
The ingredients for a pumpkin cheesecake smoothie are actually quite simple.
- Pumpkin puree: This gives the authentic pumpkin flavor
- Greek yogurt: This adds a creamy texture and gives the smoothie about 15 grams of protein!
- Milk: Using this instead of water maintains the creamy texture
- Jell-O powder: The powdered cheesecake adds the perfect amount of flavor without having to obtain some obscure ingredient
- Graham Cracker: What’s a cheesecake without the crust? Use 4 small pieces (a full sheet) for the perfect balance to the pumpkin!
