Description
A rich and creamy fall-inspired smoothie made with pumpkin puree, vanilla Greek yogurt, and protein powder, spiced with pumpkin pie spices for a comforting, protein-packed treat.
Ingredients
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vanilla Greek yogurt (Oikos Triple Zero Vanilla Bean recommended)
1/2 cup almond milk or preferred milk
1½ tablespoons instant French vanilla pudding mix (vanilla or cheesecake flavor)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon peanut butter (chunky or creamy)
2/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2/8 teaspoon cinnamon (plus more on top, if preferred)
7 ice cubes (large)
Whipped cream (optional)
Drizzle of maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (except whipped cream) to a high-speed blender. Blend for about 60 seconds until smooth and well-combined.
- Pour smoothie into a glass and top with whipped cream, cinnamon, and maple syrup if desired.
- Enjoy immediately for the best consistency. The smoothie will thicken slightly as it sits.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, swap Greek yogurt for plant-based yogurt and use almond or oat milk.
- Use a high-protein milk like Fairlife for an added protein boost.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter if needed.
- For extra fiber, add chia seeds or flaxseeds.
- Frozen banana can be added for extra creaminess and natural sweetness.
