:drinker:Okay so I too love pumpkin and with fall now I see all the yummy things that I really shouldn't have . I love Starbucks pumpkin Frappuccino and all the shakes drinks everyone makes and I so wanted something that wasn't 200 calories or we all know way higher too in calories. I did treat myself to a Starbucks pumpkin frapp over the weekend and to me well it just wasn't worth the 280 calories for a Grande so off I went to the store to try to make me something yummy lowfat and pumpkin to drink ... I DID IT OMG ...I'm in pumpkin heaven now .Here is my recipe of my Pumpkin Frappuccino and all for just 120 calories too .......... 1/4 cup (45 calories) Eating right No sugar added Vanilla ice cream. 1/2 cup (15 calories) unsweetened Almond milk . 1 to 2 shots espresso or coffee depends on how strong you want it .I used 1 so it's only ( 5 calories ) ( optional if you don't like coffee it's good without it but I like the afternoon boost ). 1/2 cup 100% Libbys Pumpkin in can. 3 to 4 ice cubes.Add as much artificial sweetner as you like. I put 4 equals for I like it real sweet Blend it all in your Magic Bullet or blender.Top it with 2 tablespoons of fat free cool whip I blend my cool whip in the mix it makes it really creamy. Then top it with a shake or two of pumpkin pie all spice spice ....Sip, sip, sip until your in heaven. I know I was. I will have this with my lunch or for my lunch and not feel like I am missing out on all these yummy fall beverages anymore HOPE SOMEONE ENJOYS THIS AS MUCH AS I DO I AM A STARBUCKS ADDICT ! Starbucks can't even make a 120 calorie drink for ya that is this yummy I ROCK LOL!

    My morning hot spiced pumpkin chai latte

    Brew cup of spice chai tea

    add to blender - add 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
    1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder or use oats and whey if you want a bit more fiber and carbs
    shot or two of pumpkin pie spice
    and if you like a bit of a kick add a pinch cayenne pepper

    comes in around 120 calories with 22gm protein 4 gm fiber if you use the plain whey and around 250 calories with 25 gm protein and 10 gm fiber if you use the oats and whey.

    A meal in a cup!

    LOL! ......Whats bump mean ? ! I'm slow or to old I guess lol! You all are fun thank you for all your sweet comments . :flowerforyou:

    So you can find the post later, because it shows up in your top 25 last read, and shows up on your wall as posts you responded to recently, and shows up in your list of posted replied to in general.

    Only decent way to find a post later.
  • That shounds delish! I just had a friend share with me 90 calorie Chocolate Cupcakes. You take one box of devil's food chocolate cake mix, 1 15oz can of pumpkin, mix and bake in the bigger cupcake wrappers. No oil, egg, zip. Just those two things and they are super moist AND don't taste diet like.
