Ok, so this isn't exactly a "recipe". You just throw a few ingredients into a blender and you're done! Here's what I added- keep in mind that I didn't actually measure anything! I'm just guessing on the amounts here:
3/4 cup of canned FROZEN pumpkin
1 cup milk (almond, coconut, etc)
a few shakes of pumpkin pie spice
1 scoop of vanilla protein
Blend frozen pumpkin, milk, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Using frozen pumpkin is key! You'll get a nice smooth texture without adding ice, which can wind up watering it down. Then, add in a scoop of protein and blend on low for a few seconds, just until incorporated. If you over blend the protein, it can get really airy and fluffy, and I don't like that texture.
I then topped mine with a big spoon full of the Buff Bake pumpkin spice almond butter to get in some fat, and a shake of cinnamon. SO GOOD!
Feel free to play with it! Add banana, some spinach or kale leaves. Need to get some fat in? Try blending in some full fat coconut milk or coconut oil, or top with pecans or walnuts. You can also try blending in a few tablespoons of uncooked rolled oats to add some carbs, and flax or chia seeds will give you a good dose of fiber.
This is the protein I used. You can find it at Fiesta Nutrition.
