Calories: 431kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 cup ice
- ½ - ¾ of a frozen banana
- 2 tablespoon pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter
- 1-2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 2 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop protein powder (we like vanilla or chocolate best)
- Dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice (optional)
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender. Blend for 20 seconds until smooth.
Notes
- We recommend putting the almond milk in the blender before all of the other ingredients. With the liquid at the bottom, the blender is better able to incorporate all the ingredients together and blend more efficiently.
- If you are a fan of pumpkin spice flavor, add a dash of cinnamon or pumpkin spice to the shake. If you aren't a big fan of pumpkin spice flavor, leave out the spices. The pumpkin is very mild and is not an overwhelming flavor in this protein shake.
- Yes! This pumpkin pie smoothie recipe can easily be gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and vegetarian. For dairy-free and vegan, make sure to use a plant-based milk and plant-based protein powder. Make sure the protein powder you use is also gluten-free if needed.
