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.

Trader Joe's - Almond Milk- (Vanilla Unsweetened), 0.5 cup
Now Sports - Pea Protien, 1 level scoop
Trader Joe's - Pumpkin Butter, 1 tbsp
Spices - Cinnamon, ground, 1 tsp 1
Spices - Nutmeg, ground, 0.5 tsp
Bananas - Raw, 1 small
5 ice cubes
Water until desired consistency, I used about 3/4 c
Per Serving: Calories 295 Carbs 38 Fat 4 Protien 30 Fiber 5 Sodium 427

    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?
