Pumpkin Protein Shake (Tastes Like Pumpkin Pie)!

This Pumpkin Protein Shake is a perfect way to satisfy all your dreams of pumpkin spice and get in your protein during the fall season! It's decadently creamy, tastes like pumpkin pie filling, takes less than 5 minutes from start to finish, and is made with wholesome ingredients. 😊 As a dietitian (and major pumpkin fanatic), I love having it as an afternoon snack!

Expert Tips

Be sure to use 100% pumpkin puree, not canned pumpkin pie mix.
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.
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.
You can store it 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.

Mallory's Dietitian Tip!

Pumpkin is a nutritious ingredient and contains several vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants! It's a source of vitamin A, and 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.
