Dairy Free Chocolate Smoothie With Pumpkin Seed Butter made with reduced fat coconut milk and oats for a filling breakfast drink to start your day

A dairy free chocolate smoothie with lots of oats, coconut and a dollop of pumpkin seed butter. I was originally gifted a Vitamix by their PR company but this post was not commissioned by them and written a couple of years later. I’m pleased to report in 2025 that the Vitamix has been going strong for over twelve years!

I have spells of drinking smoothies for breakfast and find them very filling if you put the right ingredients in them. Not just fruit obviously, that’s just the way to a sugar rush and crash mid morning.

Instead I combine banana, seeds, oats, nut butter and on this occasion also cocoa powder and coconut milk.

Pile everything into the Vitamix and blitz. The husband is unpredictable whether he wants to drink my Vitamix concoctions but he was very interested in this one.

They’re even better if you have frozen banana although today it was a fresh one. I used ordinary cocoa powder today – well actually the Sally Bee organic one from Lakeland – although I have used normal cocoa powder from the supermarket in past. If you have cacao powder you could use that too. I also find that baobab or flax seed mixes are especially good to make very thick smoothies that feel like more of a feast.

As it happened we also had some fresh coconut to garnish on top but this isn’t an essential ingredient unless you have some. Don’t buy it especially.

I’m sending this dairy free chocolate coconut smoothie to We Should Cocoa hosted by Choclette at Tin & Thyme (oats and chocolate theme). I did have something baked in the pipeline but not sure if I’ll make the deadline and noticed this dairy free chocolate smoothie waiting in drafts so obviously it’s meant to be!

    This looks really tasty, I take overnight oats to work for breakfast and sometimes I make it chocolatey – I’ll have to try this.

    I’ve never seen pumpkin butter – what is it like in it’s raw form? I love pumpkin seeds, so I’m sure I’d like it.

      Pumpkin butter is a bit more cloying than peanut butter but it’s nice on toast with marmalade or else thinned down with something else.

    I eat a lot of pumpkin seed butter, but never thought to add it to a smoothie – until now! I’ve also still not tried freezing bananas despite everyone raving about them. Really must get onto it. Your smoothie sounds totally delicious, coconut milk is such a fabulous ingredient. Thanks for sharing with We Should Cocoa, although I’m sad we didn’t get to see your bake.
