    Wow, that sounds yummy! I am a sucker for anything pumpkin this time of the year but cant do the splenda. Have you tried it without the spenda?

    No, I just made it up this morning. But have you ever used Agave Nectar? It's low on the GI, and is around 60 calories per tablespoon.

    Let me know if you try it!

    MMM! how many calories, do u know? Sounds so good
    Let's see, 60 calories for plain almond milk, 90 for the vanilla
    100 calories for the protein powder I use
    flaxseed is 30 cal for a tbsp.
    10 cal for the pumpkin
    the spices and Splenda are calorie-free

    So between 200 and 230 calories for the whole thing!
