Pumpkin, bananas and plenty of fall spices come together in these thick ‘n’ creamy milkshakes.—All you’ll need is a few ingredients for these super fall sippers!
I know. The title might sound kinda iffy to you, but PUH-LEEZE bear with me and trust me on this one.
You’ll be glad you did.
So these milkshakes—I know the combo of ingredients might sound kinda weird to you. Pumpkin AND bananas? In a milkshake? Yes. Guys, these milkshakes. They freaking ROCK.
They taste amazing, they LOOK amazing, and they’re healthy. Oh, heck yes.
Let’s do this.
I feel that the first “official” day of fall is an excellent day for pumpkin milkshakes.
Oh c’mon let’s be honest here: ANY day is a good day for pumpkin milkshakes. #truth. 😀
So do y’all know my Skinny Peanut Butter Banana Milkshakes? They’re one of the most popular recipes on my blog, and for a good reason too: They’re epic.—Cold, creamy milkshake HEAVEN.
Today’s milkshake is a spin-off of that one—Simply because I’m not one to give up my milkshakes just because we’ve moved into fall.
Instead, I’ll just omit the peanut butter, throw in some pumpkin ‘n’ spices, then just cuddle up with a blanket while I sip away at my freezing-cold but oh-so-worth it milkshake.
Some things are worth melting freezing for. (QUICK–NAME THAT MOVIE)
So you may be wondering: How are these awesome sippers HEALTHY? Well, the fact that they don’t even have any ice cream in ’em might have something to do with it….
Yes, it’s true. Frozen bananas when pureed with milk, pumpkin and other amazing stuff transforms into a thick ice-creamy milk-shake.—It’s like magic.
And it tastes ALMOST exactly like the real thing. Your tastebuds won’t be any the wiser. 😉
Neither will the kiddos who tend to go NUTS-O over this golden stuff. (or at least that’s the case in this house)
Or even just Sarah, who has a tremendous/ridiculous obsession with banana milkshakes.
Throw in some pumpkin and fall-ish spices? I die and go to milkshake heaven.
These banana pumpkin spice milkshakes are what fall dreams are MADE out of. You should kinda try ’em. TODAY.
I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate the First Day of Autumn. 😀
Sip away and happy Tuesday my friends!

Mmmm…pumpkin milkshakes! Sounds good to me! Love that they are healthy, too!
Sarah says
Thank Kelly! It’s a lucky thing they’re healthy because they’re also sooo addicting. 😉
Cheryl says
Yum! I’m totally with you on these – they SOUND amazing, besides just looking amazing and being healthy! Every smoothie/milkshake pretty much needs bananas anyway, and I’ve got to try these!
Sarah says
Aw thanks, Cheryl! And totally agree–bananas are SO under appreciated in most smoothies and milkshakes!
Annie @Maebells says
I love that you added bananas, I am not sure I would have thought of that! These look great because it is still pretty warm here!
Sarah says
Haha! I keep forgetting that a lot of people still have 90 degree weather! In that case, these shakes are the PERFECT way to beat the heat! LOL.
Lindsey @ American Heritage Cooking says
LOL! I read your opening line and then scrolled up thinking, “did I miss something?” But no, I didn’t! I just thought your milkshake sounds Ah-mazing and was confused that anyone else would think otherwise. I probably doesn’t hurt that I posed a pumpkin banana bread, sooo clearly we are on the same flavor page! Pinned!
Sarah says
Hahaha! Well thank you, Lindsey! I’m off to check off your awesome-sounding bread—Thanks for pinning girl!
