An amazing pumpkin protein shake recipe..
First and foremost let me just say I have an addiction to pumpkin pie…I love it! Something about October and going into the holidays makes me just crave pumpkin pie… well this year I may have a small slice on a cheat day BUT I have already made up my mind that there will be no going overboard with the pumpkin pie this year!
With this decision I decided I needed to either find or create a recipe that is similar to pumpkin pie to fight off those cravings… well here it is…I created it and its awesome!
What you need:
Blender!!! (which you should have by now!)
1 cup nonfat milk or 1 c lowfat vanilla almond milk (I have had it with both and honestly prefer the almond milk with this one)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I like Optimum Vaniila Ice Cream)
The following spices to personal taste preference (I like a bolder taste so I tend to add more then the average joe): pumpkin pie spice, ground cloves, allspice- sometimes a little nutmeg..
1 packet splenda (you can give or take this one- makes it a bit sweeter- I use 1/2 packet)
1/2 Cup- 3/4 Cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (make sure it is only the puree and not the pumpkin pie mix)
What to do:
Mix all spices, protein powder, splenda and milk in blender until smooth….then add the pumkn and blend until smooth. Pour and sit and ENJOY!!! Yummy yummy yummy
Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!
