    When breakfast is an indulgent dessert and packed with nourishing ingredients - you know your mornings are extra special!  

    We love satisfying and healthy breakfast ideas! Whether it's egg bhurji, green smoothie, or granola parfait, I can't resist.

    This breakfast smoothie comes together in 5 minutes, using one blender, and requires just five ingredients.

    The ingredients are SO simple you likely have them in your pantry right now. Pumpkin purée is blended with frozen, ripe bananas, soy milk, pumpkin pie spice and cacao!

    Your favourite toppings are optional!

    Is It Healthy To Have A Smoothie For Breakfast?

    Of course, this depends on your definition of "healthy."

    If you base your smoothie on fruits and vegetables, protein and healthy fats, and you're someone who feels satisfied with a smoothie all morning, then it's a healthy breakfast choice. 

    In this breakfast smoothie, we've added:

    • pumpkin
    • cacao with no added sugar
    • bananas
    • pumpkin spice
    • plant milk
    • fruit and nut toppings

    How To Make Chocolate And Pumpkin Breakfast Smoothie - Step By Step

    step by step preparation images of how to make chocolate and pumpkin smoothie breakfast in a high speed blender
    1. In a high-speed blender, add milk (Image 1), cacao (Image 2), pumpkin purée (Image 3) frozen, ripe bananas (Image 4), and pumpkin spice (Image 5)!
    2. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy (Image 6)
    3. You can finish by adding your favourite toppings. This is optional! I used cacao nibs, crushed plain almonds, pomegranate seeds and fresh raspberries.

    Top Tips For Making Chocolate Pumpkin Breakfast Smoothie

    1. Make sure you use frozen and ripe bananas. This is what will mostly determine the level of sweetness of your smoothie
    2. Prevent food waste by storing leftover pumpkin puree in small containers and freeze - ready for more recipe creations
    3. If serving as a dessert, this will serve two people
    4. You can prepare all the ingredients the night before and simply blend in the morning - quick and easy!
    5. It's tastes heavenly if you refrigerate for 15 minutes - cool and creamy!

    What Should I Put In My Breakfast Smoothie?

    Smoothies can serve as a desi~licious meal that not only nourishes but also satisfies your tastebuds. Here are some add-ins that work well:

    • Leafy greens: kale, spinach, lettuce. These are lower in calories and provide more protein and iron than fruits
    • Milk/milk alternatives: soy, almond, coconut, greek yogurt can be additional sources of protein (some better than others!). They also help to keep you full for longer.
    • Bananas and other sweet fruits - like pumpkin work like a charm to create a sweet, creamy and nutritious smoothie - minus added sugar! If you're after a low carb breakfast smoothie, berries would be one of my top picks.
    • Nuts and nut butters: give your smoothies a boost of protein, healthy fats by adding almonds, cashews, brazil nuts, walnuts, pecans etc. The list is pretty long!
