A creamy and nutritious Pumpkin Protein Shake that combines the rich flavors of pumpkin and warming spices with a boost of protein. Perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout snack, this shake blends almond milk, frozen banana, canned pumpkin, and vanilla protein powder into a satisfying, seasonal treat.

Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup frozen banana (sliced into coins and frozen beforehand)
  • 3 tablespoons canned pumpkin (I recommend Libby’s)
  • 1 scoop (1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 ice cubes

Optional Garnish

  • Graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Blend: Combine the almond milk, frozen banana, canned pumpkin, vanilla protein powder, almond butter, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and ice cubes in a blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a creamy and smooth texture with no lumps.
  3. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top of the shake for an added crunch and flavor enhancement.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the pumpkin protein shake into a glass and enjoy it fresh for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened vanilla almond milk to keep added sugars low and add a subtle vanilla flavor.
  • The frozen banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess. Freeze your bananas sliced into coins for easier blending.
  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can substitute with a mix of ground cloves, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.
  • Adjust the amount of almond butter to control the shake’s fat content and flavor richness.
  • The protein powder amount can be adjusted based on your nutritional needs or omitted if vegan/vegetarian protein alternatives are used.
  • The graham cracker garnish adds a dessert-like touch but can be skipped to reduce carbs.
