This Pumpkin Protein Shake makes the perfect fall breakfast or snack, loaded with healthy pumpkin puree and muscle-building protein powder. Pumpkins are rich in carotenoids, which are the compounds responsible for giving them their beautiful, bright orange color. One of these compounds, beta carotene is converted into a form of vitamin A in the body, which is good to keep your skin and peepers healthy. They are also a source of dietary fiber, which is great for the waistline.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 scoop unflavored or vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp vanilla stevia drops or 1 packet granulated stevia
- 1/4 cup ice
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a blender
- Blend and enjoy
