Jump to Recipe

“This smoothie is like sipping on a slice of pumpkin pie … creamy, flavorful, and perfect for a guilt-free indulgence!”
🙂 B. B.

Pumpkin Slim-N-Trim, a copycat Manage Weight Blend Smoothie King recipe, is a delightful autumn-inspired blend that combines the rich, creamy texture of bananas and pumpkin puree with the warm spices of pumpkin pie. Dates add a natural sweetness, while whey protein powder ensures you’re getting a good dose of protein. This smoothie is light yet satisfying, making it an ideal choice for those looking to indulge in the flavors of fall while keeping their nutrition in check.

This smoothie is not just about taste, it’s packed with health benefits too. Pumpkin is rich in beta-carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant that supports eye health and boosts immunity. Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, which helps maintain heart health and regulate blood pressure. Whey protein powder adds a high-quality protein boost, aiding in muscle recovery and promoting satiety. Dates provide natural sweetness while offering a good amount of fiber, which aids digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.

Health Benefits

Bananas – Bananas are very healthy, readily available, and one of the least expensive fruits you can buy. They have relatively few calories, are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and potassium, are full of potent antioxidants including flavonoids and animes, and are high in dietary fiber. Studies have shown that bananas can improve insulin sensitivity and may improve kidney health.

Dates – Dates are the sweet and chewy fruit of a palm tree that are typically consumed dried. They are highly nutritious, containing significant vitamin B6, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, and potassium. Dates are abundant in disease-fighting antioxidants and have been shown to improve brain function by reducing inflammation and preventing plaque formation.

Pumpkins – Pumpkins are highly nutritious winter squash that are native to North America. They are absolutely packed with vitamin A, and provide significant amounts of vitamin B2, vitamin C, vitamin E, and potassium. Pumpkins are known to boost your immune system, protect against age-related eyesight loss, and lower your risk of certain cancers.

Whey Protein Powder – Whey protein powder is the most highly studied nutritional supplement readily available, providing great nutritional value and numerous health benefits. In addition to high quality protein, it also contains bioactive peptides called lactokinins. Whey protein powder promotes muscle growth and maintenance, helps lower blood pressure, can lessen the effects of Type 2 diabetes, and reduces inflammation.

Equipment Needed

A standard blender is all that is required to make these delicious smoothies. If you are making it for just one person, we recommend using the truly amazing personal NutriBullet Ultra as it is super-quick to set up and very easy to clean.

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.

How To Make The Smoothie King Pumpkin Slim-N-Trim

The Smoothie King Pumpkin Slim-N-Trim is very easy to make:

Step 1: Place bananas, dates, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, whey protein powder, water, and ice into a blender and secure the lid.
Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

For ease of use, we recommend peeling and slicing a number of bananas, putting them in a freezer bag, and storing them in your freezer for quick access.

If you don’t have frozen fruit, or simply prefer to use fresh fruit (we totally get that), we recommend adding 1/2 cup of ice to chill your smoothie and give it a pleasing icy texture.

If you’re looking to make this smoothie vegan, you can substitute the whey protein powder with a plant-based protein powder, such as pea or hemp protein.

For an extra creamy texture, try adding a spoonful of Greek yogurt or using almond milk instead of water.

You can also toss in a handful of spinach or kale for an added nutrient boost without altering the flavor.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of pumpkin puree in this smoothie?

Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin, but you’ll need to cook and puree it first. Canned pumpkin puree is a convenient and equally nutritious option.

What can I use as a sweetener instead of dates?

If you’re not a fan of dates, you can use a natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey. Alternatively, a ripe banana adds sweetness without the need for additional sugars.
