Pumpkin Pie Protien Smoothie

4mydogs

I love pumpkin pie and hate smoothies but my trainor really wants me to incorporate one on the three days we work out for an hour, so with her help I created this and I really enjoyed it. Never been a smoothie person but this really worked for me, just thought I would share, it would be a great breakfast also.

I attempted creating my own pumpkin protein shake recently, similar to ones posted above, but it just tasted like squash! :sick: I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla protein powder, canned pumpkin, and spices. The same thing happened when I made a pumpkin pie oatmeal recipe I had found. Couldn't even finish it. Any ideas on how to get rid of that canned squash taste??

Could you try some sugar free maple syrup? I like Maple Grove Farms kind. Would steel cut oats work? Or only the quick cook?
