Ingredients

- milk – any milk will work in this recipe
SUBSTITUTIONS
Pumpkin Puree: I’ve only made this recipe with pumpkin puree, but I bet you could also use applesauce to make an apple smoothie.
Pumpkin Pie Spice: If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice you can use: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger, a dash of nutmeg, and ground cloves
Nonfat Greek Yogurt: You can use full fat Greek yogurt or plain yogurt. Vanilla yogurt would also work in this recipe.
Protein Powder: Any protein powder will work in this recipe. I like to use vanilla protein powder (this is our favorite protein powder) but you could use chocolate too!
Milk: I think whole milk is best in this recipe, but you can use any nondairy milk you like or skim milk.
Vegan: To make this pumpkin smoothie vegan use dairy free yogurt and vegan vanilla protein powder.
To Make it Lower Carb: This is a pretty low carb smoothie, the only carbs come from the milk and pumpkin. Opt for a low carb protein powder.
How to Make a high protein pumpkin smoothie
- Blend until smooth and enjoy!
Liz’s Pro Tip:
Make sure to choose a good quality protein powder. This is our favorite protein powder because it’s made with only 3 simple ingredients. (It also tastes amazing!)
Storage
Storing: This pumpkin spice protein shake will last in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, however, we don’t recommend making this/storing the smoothie. It’s best to enjoy it right after blending.
If you store this in the fridge it will likely separate so it’s best to re-blend it before enjoying
