    Why this recipe works

    This delicious pumpkin spice smoothie can be made for on-the-go pick-me-ups. You can use Vanilla or Chocolate Pea Protein depending on your flavor choices. Using a frozen banana gives it a bit of thickness. The pumpkin puree gives you lots of vitamin A.

    What goes into this recipe

    Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake.
    • Non-Dairy Protein Powder (Vegan Protein)
    • Almond Milk (Dairy Free) Or your favorite Non-Dairy Beverage
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice (Cinnamon, Ginger, Mace, Nutmeg, Cloves, Allspice)
    • Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

    Notes & Substitutions

    • If you want to make it ahead of time, blend it up and place it in the refrigerator. Stir just before serving.
    • You can use any time of non-dairy milk you prefer.
    • Choose either chocolate or vanilla protein powder.
    • Add in some avocado to get more healthy fats.
    • Add in some chia seeds or flax seeds for some ALA’s
    • I love my Nutribullet. It gets so much use from smoothies to iced lattes and more.

    How to make this recipe

    Process shots of how to make a Pumpkin Protein Shake.
    • 1 – Add the almond milk and protein powder to the blender. (I used a nutribullet)
    • 2- Add the pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
    • 3 – Add the frozen bananas (you can also use fresh but it will be thinner)
    • 4 – Add pumpkin pie spice ( you can just add cinnamon optional)
    • 5 – Blend and pour. Add some additional pumpkin pie spice on top.

    Recipe F.A.Q.’s

    Can you use Whey Protein?

    Yes. Whey does contain lactose and more sugar than vegan protein unless you use Isolate Protein. It will not be dairy free though.

    Do I need to use pumpkin spice if I don’t have any?

    No, you can add any of the holiday spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger or clove.

    What if I want to make it sweeter?

    You can add a drop or two of liquid stevia or agave.

      I made sure to buy 2 boxes of Trader Joe's pumpkin pancake/waffle mix since it is seasonal and we don't have a store near us, yet. I want to try the smoothie, but can't eat bananas (ridiculous), which tends to cramp a lot of smoothie stylings! I'll wing it though! Our dog LOVES pumpkin too, so we'll share a can!

        Great, just don't use the bananas. They are for fiber. You can substitute.
