Guys. Guys. We need to talk. Again.
It’s been two weeks since I last posted a pumpkin recipe here on Spoons (are you proud of me?!?), and I’m thinking it’s time to end the drought and bring the seasonal squash back to these here parts.
I mean, we’ve had a nice little dalliance with raisins, chocolate, and chai, but there’s no denying that pumpkin pretty much reigns supreme as far as fall flavours go. And I’m okay with that; mostly because I get to fill my belly with things like this pumpkin spice overnight oatmeal smoothie…
At a time of the year when most people are turning to soups to warm themselves up in the increasingly cooler temperatures, this girl is clinging to her cold and creamy smoothies… and she will be well into the winter months.
It’s not that I don’t like soup — it’s just that I kind of forget how much I enjoy it until I actually have some, and I don’t actually have some unless someone else makes it because chopping up a tonne of veggies, tossing them into a pot of water, and waiting for them to release all their flavour takes too much time, and patience is not my strongest virtue. At least not when it comes to food. The 5 minutes it takes to throw a delicious smoothie together, though? That I can do…
And I know, I know… this smoothie technically takes a little more than 5 minutes since it has to sit and marinate in the fridge for few hours, but if you throw it together before you go to sleep, it’s good and ready for you in the morning… which is basically equivalent to the blink of an eye. You can’t do that with stovetop soup [unless you want to leave the stove on and risk burning the house down while you sleep]… <– [Do not risk it].
And I’m going to blissfully ignore crock pots here, because while I know you can set and forget soups in those, I’ve been planning on getting one for about three years now and it still hasn’t happened so it most likely isn’t going to. But I digress.
Now that I’ve gone on [and on] about my love of smoothies over soups, I’m going to try and convince you that you need this pumpkin spice overnight oatmeal smoothie in your life.
Ready? Here goes…
It’s ridiculously thick and creamy… to the point where it has a consistency of a pudding or sauce, only without any added oils or [nut] butters.
It’s super healthy and satisfying thanks to the lack of refined sugars and all the fibre and plant-based protein, meaning it’ll keep you going all morning.
It also happens to be gluten-free and vegan, and can easily be made nut-free by subbing out the almond milk with another non-dairy milk… which means that anyone can (and should) enjoy.
And most importantly… it’s just straight up delicious. Silky and smooth, with just the right amount of spice and earthy pumpkin flavour. Oh! And speaking of pumpkin, this smoothie also sneaks in a whole serving of veggies along with a hefty dose of vitamin A… meaning it’ll help you keep that nice healthy ‘glow’ through the colder and darker months.

Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oatmeal Smoothie
- Total Time: 3 hours 5 mins

- 1/2 cup rolled oats**
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
- 1 Tbsp. maple syrup***
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk****
Instructions
- The night before, add all ingredients to the bowl of your blender and give it a stir to ensure that everything is well combined. Cover and place in fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- The next morning, blend until a smooth and creamy consistency is reached, adding more milk if smoothie is too thick. Transfer back to a bowl or glass, add desired toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
* Cook time refers to chilling time. ** Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you need this to be gluten-free. You can also reduce the oats to ⅓ cup and add a scoop of your favourite protein powder. *** You could sub this with any liquid sweetener, or leave it out and replace it with 2 Medjool dates. **** To make this taste more like a pumpkin spice latte, replace half of the milk with leftover coffee. OR add a tsp. of instant coffee to the blender.

This is so good! Simple ingredients! Thank you!
I’m certainly going to try this smoothie recipe this week.. It looks so delicious
do you have the nutritional values for these smoothies?
Delicious! I used sweetened vanilla almond milk and only 1 tbsp of maple syrup. The morning I blended it, I decided to add a Truvia packet because, after tasting the mixture, I decided I wanted it to be sweeter. It was great cold, and also very nice warmed up a bit on the stove topped with fat free ReddiWip. It was very thick, but I liked that (though the pot does need to be cleaned or soaked immediately afterwards, cause the mixture sticks on it). I still prefer the warm gingerbread smoothie, but this was also great!
I am not one who leaves comments…but this smoothie is SOOO GOOD! I actually warm it up in on the stove in the morning after blending it, with a little maple syrup and some raisins, then top with granola…it is the best! Great recipe!!
Warming it up sounds like such a great idea, Kim! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment and let me know that you enjoyed it!
omg. Those acorns.
Also. Why did you ask a soup question. :/
Love this and very timely to the season, too! Pinned to my smoothies, smoothies, smoothies board!
How many of the small dates would I need to replace the two medjool dates?
Maybe 3-4? It really depends on how sweet you like your smoothies. And if your dates are dry, you might want to soak them in a little bit of water for about 10 minutes prior to blending them.
It’s so dreamy that there’s a whole half cup of pumpkin in this bad boy!! When people tell me I’m tan I’m all like #pumpkin HAYYYYYY!
That looks beautiful! Definitely on the list of things to make and try!
You are now officially the queen of muffins AND smoothies. This looks so creamy and delicious! Pinned!
Gahhhh. If I had a blender in college, I would be having smoothies all winter long. Nothing beats the convenience, texture, and taste of delicious overnight oat smoothies. I must get on this pumpkin spice variety when I return to the kitchen!
Smoothies > soups. Nut butter and banana work better in smoothies it seems 😉
I love this question, but honestly I need my smoothies more than I need my soups. Smoothies are are just the best way to get raw servings of fruits and vegetables.
I like the way you think! Smoothies for me as well.
I think it would depend on the climate I lived in. Soup if I lived where you do, smoothies if I lived in the South. Sometimes I put my soup in the fridge so it gets cold before I eat it (don’t knock it till ya try it). I always forget I like scones until I have one and then eat them everyday for a month. I may or may not be on a scone kick now haha
This smoothie looks great!
Le sigh. I thought we were past the pumpkin prime. 🙂 🙂 You still manage to make it look beautiful though.
Also, I will make you soups because I adore them. Also, soup plus some biscuits equals a full meal.
I gave you a two week break — that’s huge in the blogging world 😛
Such an amazing recipe! I have organic pumpkin puree that I am trying to figure out what to do with!! XD So many things that I can do and they all look so yummy!
XO,
Kat
YES YES YES
Love this!
This looks really good and thanks for sharing. I have been in a pumpkin mood lately so I’m going to have to try this out! I’ll find another day that it is just a little bit warmer though…I’m craving warm drinks right now. 😉
I was actually wondering what this would taste like if you warmed it up for a few minutes after blending. Might have to try it out one day.
Oh my gosh! That is soooo hard. I LOVE soups, and I LOVE smoothies. Soups are so comforting in the colder months, and smoothies are just so comforting… everyday!
Making this for my kids – they loved your chocolate one and this feels so festive 🙂
I bet it’d go great with a slice of your banana bread 😀
yum! All the best foods in smoothie form:)))
This looks like heaven in a glass! Actually, scratch that. This IS heaven in a glass!
We talked about the soup thing the other day. I don’t love it, I do like tomato soup sometimes but rarely eat it. When I do, I wonder why I don’t eat it more often but then don’t eat it more often. HA!
We are basically the same person 😛
Why maple syrup twice?
Oops. Notation error. Went back and fixed it. Thanks, Sarah.
girlfriend, i don’t need ANY convincing. you know my love for soup and smoothies and pumpkin spice. I will covet this like the rest of your recipes. xxoo
The pumpkin is back!
