Bubby and Bean ::: Living Creatively: Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake

One thing about me: I will never turn down pumpkin pie. I don't care how full I am. I don't care what time of year (or day) it is. I will eat it. I've also been trying to increase my daily protein intake, so when I decided to try to create an easy, quick protein shake that tasted like pumpkin pie, and it actually worked, I was beyond excited.

This pumpkin pie shake not only tastes delicious, it contains 20g of protein! If you leave off the whipped cream, it is also completely vegan/plant-based. Did I mention it takes 2-3 minutes to make? Scroll down for recipe!

Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup pumpkin puree

2 scoops Pumpkin Spice Naked Shake vegan protein powder

1 cup almond or oat milk

1 tablespoon almond butter

1/2 tablespoon maple syrup

6-8 ice cubes

whipped cream (optional)

cinnamon (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a blender. I like to drink it as it in the morning, but if you're looking for more of a dessert type beverage, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

I use Pumpkin Spice Naked Shake vegan protein powder for this recipe because it's both delicious and full of protein - 20g of pea protein to be exact. It also contains MCT oil, cinnamon, fermented cane sugar, and natural plant-based flavors, with only 3g of sugar. It's a seasonal flavor, so make sure to grab some before it's sold out!
