Delicious, protein-packed, pumpkin pie-flavored protein shake!
Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 360kcal
Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- 8 ice cubes (or more, as needed)
- 1 cup almond milk (30 calorie)
- 2 scoops vanilla organic protein powder
- 1 scoop collagen peptides
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon gingerbread spice
- 1 small banana (3.75 ounces) (frozen)
- ½ cup canned pumpkin (100% pure pumpkin)
- 1 packet Truvia (optional)
- freshly grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Add ingredients to a blender in the order listed. Blend until smooth.
- If you prefer a thicker consistency, add more ice cubes and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
- Pour the pumpkin spice protein shake into a glass and sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg & enjoy!
Notes
- To up the protein content, I add Collagen Peptides Powder. It's only 40 calories per scoop and increases this recipe's protein by 10 grams! It's flavorless, mixes in well, and the collagen is great for your skin too, so why wouldn't you add it? I use the SR brand, but there are many brands to choose from.
- Freeze unused canned pumpkin in ice cube trays. Then just plop them into the blender to make your next Pumpkin Pie Blend Protein Shake.
- You can use fresh bananas, however you will most likely need to add more ice to get the protein shake to the right consistency.
- Another great addition to this shake would be a small container of high protein vanilla yogurt.
