Why We Love This Protein Shake Recipe
Need some pep in your morning step? A cold smoothie is the perfect grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings… It is filling without feeling heavy, and blends up in mere minutes. If you drink a protein shake in the morning, a Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie is a great way to mix things up and make your breakfast shake much more interesting! You need only a handful of simple ingredients, including canned pumpkin puree, a generous amount of pumpkin pie spice (of course), your preferred protein powder, and milk: Choose regular dairy milk, or easily make this a vegan pumpkin protein shake recipe by using a plant-based dairy-free alternative like soy milk, oat milk, or almond milk. Everything is quickly blended together into a smooth, creamy consistency that looks and tastes just like pumpkin pie filling! This simple recipe is built to enjoy as-is or to add additional ingredients to spice things up! Consider adding almond butter, cayenne pepper, coconut, chocolate protein powder, or instant espresso powder to make a pumpkin spice latte smoothie. Although these are fabulous in the fall, they are a perfect way to add exciting yumminess to your morning routine any time of year!
