Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie!

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 Vanilla non-dairy almond milk (Reduce to ¾ of a cup for more thickness)

1 tsp of cinnamon

1 tsp of nutmeg

(or you can use 1/2 tsp of McCormicks "Pumpkin Pie" spices)

1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

 

1 heaping tablespoons of 0% Greek Yogurt

1/4 cup of Liquid Egg Whites

1/2 cup of ice

Water for consistency

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!
