Healthy Pumpkin Protein Smoothie
This Healthy Pumpkin Protein Smoothie is a little taste of Fall that you can have for breakfast! It's an easy smoothie recipe that's full of protein and pumpkin flavor!
Servings: 1 smoothie
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup ice
- 1/2 to 1 cup vanilla almond milk
- 1 ounce pecans
- 1-2 tablespoons pure maple syrup optional, to taste
- dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to the jar of your blender and blend until smooth. Start with 1/2 cup of almond milk and adjust according to your preference and how well your blender is moving things around (more liquid makes it easier for your blender to process things). Enjoy right away.
Notes
- The nutrition information on this smoothie will depend a lot on the ingredients you use, so I suggest you calculate the nutritional information in an app (such as My Fitness Pal) for the most accurate information.
- You can use pecans for more of a fall taste. If you are new to nuts in smoothies, I would recommend some cashews, because they blend up extra smooth and creamy. Or you can skip the nuts altogether if that's not your jam.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed right away but you could stick it in the fridge for a few hours and then shake it up because some separation is to be expected.
