Oh my word, was today's breakfast ever yummy! I exercised first, then fueled up with a healthy Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake. Now I am ready to go…..shopping! We are off to brave the crowds at Whole Foods and Costco to shop for our Thanksgiving dinner groceries. Enjoy!
Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake
Ingredients
- 1/4 c. Canned Coconut Milk
- 3/4 c. Water
- 1/2 c. Pumpkin Puree
- 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder (I use egg as I'm allergic to dairy, but grass-fed whey would work as well)
- 1/2 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice
- pinch Celtic Sea Salt
- Vanilla Stevia (to taste)
- 6 Ice Cubes
Directions
- Mix all ingredients in a high-powered blender. (I use the "smoothie" button on our Vitamix)
- Enjoy!

I make this same smoothie with just 6 drops stevia and I add chia seeds. I use the same brands of ingredients you have and must say this recipe is a winner at our house!
It is soooo good and great for the season. 🙂 I like the added chia seeds.
OMGosh! This was delish! I found a recipe a few weeks ago for something similar but it used cashew cream and was a little “carby” for me. This was a wonderful change from eggs this morning. I didn’t have pumpkin pie spice so did my own thing with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
I enjoyed it so much I posted it over on the Wheat Belly Facebook page for all the pumpkin lovers there.
Thanks Trina! I think I am going to have this for breakfast today. 🙂
