Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate only.
If you don't have a high-speed blender, you may want to soak the oats either in cold water (overnight) or hot water (at the last minute - just 5-ish minutes will do the trick) to ensure they get broken down properly and your smoothie doesn't end up tasting chalky.
Don't like banana? If you want to make a pumpkin smoothie without banana, I recommend replacing the frozen banana with one cup of frozen cauliflower (you can't taste it, I promise!) and adding an extra date to make up the sweetness.
Want to make a vegan pumpkin smoothie? Simply replace the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt (I love coconut yoghurt) or the same amount of silken tofu.
Want to make this recipe in advance? You've got options! I'm a big fan of making Frozen Smoothie Packs to help streamline my mornings.
You can also make the smoothie the night before and store it in your fridge in a container with a lid. Just give it a shake or a stir in the morning and you're good to go!
