Notes

Expert Tips

Add the liquid to your blender first to help everything blend smoothly.
I suggest using a frozen banana! To freeze bananas, peel them first and cut them into halves or slices before freezing in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Be sure to use a protein powder that you like the taste of.

Storage

Refrigerator - if you want to make this Pumpkin Protein Shake in advance, store it in an airtight container like a mason jar for up to 1-2 days.
Freezer - you can store this smoothie in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours or add it back to your blender with a bit more almond milk.

Dietitian Tip

Pumpkin is a nutritious ingredient and contains several vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants! It's a great source of vitamin A, and it also provides dietary fiber for a healthy gut! When buying the can of pumpkin for this recipe, be sure to look for pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling which has added sugars and salt.
