Pumpkin Spice Protein Shakes

Leo is also a fan!

It is fall ya'll, and that means that pumpkin and pumpkin spice are pretty much everywhere. Whether that is good or bad for you, it is unavoidable at a point. For me, it is one of my favorite times of year and I go full force with all things pumpkin, so it seemed only natural to come up with a healthier alternative than the oh-so-coveted Pumpkin Spice Lattes or Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew coffees at Starbucks. Here is the shake that has become a staple in my home this fall, I hope you enjoy!

Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake (Serves 1)

Ingredients (1 Serving): 
¼ can Pumpkin Puree (no added sugar)
¼ Cup Vanilla Yogurt
½ Scoop Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (I have Sprouts’ Brand)
¾ Frozen Sliced Banana (or 1 cup ice)
1 Cup Coffee or Milk of Choice
1 tsp Pumpkin Ppice
(Some pumpkin spice to sprinkle on top for aesthetic)
(If needed, add additional ice for thicker consistency)

Directions:
Add it all to a blender and blend on high until smooth. It helps to put the liquids and powder in first, the pumpkin puree and yogurt second, then adding the pumpkin spice and frozen banana last.
