Sip on These 7 Tasty Autumn Smoothies

Apples, cinnamon, oats and peanut butter are a dreamy combo, and they all come together with milk and honey for a perfectly cozy smoothie you’ll be sipping well into the season. Enjoy as-is, or add a dash of cinnamon on top for a little more warmth. 

Sure, you can enjoy chai any time of year. But for some reason, it just feels right to sip on chai beverages in the fall. The spices of chai come through in this smoothie recipe, which also sneaks in cauliflower and flax for a nutrient boost. 

Is it even a fall recipe round-up if we don’t include something pumpkin-flavored? Pumpkin is the king crop of fall, so it just makes sense to use it in your smoothies. Fortunately, this bright orange veggie is really good for you, too. This smoothie uses maple syrup for a delicious sweetener, and even includes an optional homemade whipped topping and chocolate shavings for a special treat. 

If you aren’t eating persimmons, you’re really missing out. These sweet fruits have a unique flavor that lends itself well to a nourishing smoothie. For this recipe, cashews help create a thicker texture, so you could even use this beverage for a smoothie bowl. Cinnamon brings a little heat, while maple syrup sweetens the smoothie. 

Pears are especially delicious in fall and winter, so keep this recipe in mind for the next several months when you’re craving a smoothie. Frozen avocado and cauliflower rice thicken this smoothie while also adding more nutritional benefits, and you can add as much cinnamon or other warming spices as your heart desires. Top with more fruit, granola, seeds, nuts, or a nut butter drizzle to turn this smoothie into a filling meal or healthy dessert.

Carrot cake is a popular springtime dessert, but the flavors are also perfect for fall. By making a carrot cake-flavored smoothie with coffee, you can start each morning off on the right foot for a fraction of the cost of ordering a fancy latte from a cafe.

The secret to this creamy autumnal smoothie? Frozen butternut squash cubes, which make it an ideal fall treat. The vanilla spice smoothie is filled with healthful ingredients, like squash, cauliflower, and avocado, to help fuel you through the day. Top with coconut flakes, granola, more spices, or any combination of crunchy and creamy toppings you desire.
