Pumpkin Protein Power Shake
It’s low-calorie, low-carb & high-protein!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 scoop of vanilla whey protein (Roughly 25g)
7.5 oz. of canned pumpkin (Half of a typical 15 oz. can)
8 oz. (1 cup) of unsweetened non-dairy almond milk (Reduce to ¾ of a cup for more thickness)
1 tsp of cinnamon
1 tsp of nutmeg
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
Low calorie sweetener (Optional)
1/2 cup of ice
Blend all of the ingredients until you are satisfied with the texture.
This shake turns an ordinary protein shake into a nutritiously fortified monster that has a great source of minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium. It’s also loaded with a ton of beta-carotene, a precursor for Vitamin A (hence, the orange color of pumpkin), plus vitamin D & E!
Drink this for post-workout recovery or as a midday snack!
