Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake

[Day Dreamer 23]

I am 3 months out and to be honest, shakes get boring. I love fall time because it means Thanksgiving foods! Or pumpkin pie... ohhh purrr! If you crave that comforting taste / smell of pumpkin pie during fall, why not try a pumpkin Protein Shake. Yumm-O!

1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree <br sb_id="ms__id586">1/3 cup milk <br sb_id="ms__id588">1 dash of vanilla

2 packets Splenda <br sb_id="ms__id592">Cinnamon (to taste)<br sb_id="ms__id594">Nutmeg (to taste)<br sb_id="ms__id596">1 scoop vanilla Protein powder

ice

My friend used coffee creamer to make her shake extra thick - not good for those of us watching our carbs. Super tasty shake and makes me LOVE fall time

Enjoy!

Sounds yummy Do you think if you added some espresso powder or coffee to it and blended it with ice it would taste anywhere close to the pumpkin spice frapp at starbucks? that is one of my favorite drinks and I would love to be able to re-create it.

YUM! I'm gonna try this tomorrow

Oh man.... I've so been wanting to try a pumpkin shake (or pumpkin pudding or pumpkin mixed with greek yogurt) - it's that time of year. But I can't find canned pumpkin ANYWHERE! I've checked several large grocery stores, and either they're completely out, or there's not even a spot on the shelf for it. It's like there's been a recall. Weird!

Now I'm motivated to try a couple more stores - that looks yummy!

sounds delicious!

I'm making that tomorrow. Thank you!

I heard on the radio this week that the recent flooding impacted the pumpkin crops. A few years ago, there were problems with the pumpkin crops and you couldn't find canned pumpkin anywhere! Earlier this year Kroger had their cans on sale so I bought 20 cans. I thought I would never use that much, but I only have 7 cans left. LOL!

I have a bit of an addiction to pumpkin spice muffins. You can go to sparkrecipes.com and type in pumpkin and you will get all sorts of interesting ideas. Good luck!

I worked out the recipe for the starbucks coffee tonight. It's as follows:

Everything in a blender -

1 cup milk (we buy a milk alternative that's real milk - not soy or whatever and it's lower carb with 12g Protein per 8oz... i had 3/4c 2% left over so i had to top it off with fat free)

1 tbs pumpkin

1/2 tbs light brown sugar (it was a minimal amount so i used real rather than the splenda brown sugar)

1 tbs vanilla extract

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp clove

1/8 tsp nutmeg

2 cups fresh brewed coffee

**I also added 1 scoop unflavored Isopure

this makes 2 good sized servings. here are the stats when i entered it into myfitnesspal (it'll vary depending on your milk/protein powder)

150 calories/9 carbs/2 fat/20 protein/9 sugar/1 Fiber

My husband drank the rest and added ice and sugar to his. I needed a packet of equal in mine. I know the starbucks isn't very sweet and the 1 packet put it about on par with that.

Has anyone tried Red Mango pumpkin spce frozen yougurt! are we allow to have that?

[illgeturhairdid 176]

I just made this shake and it is awesome! I used half an equal instead of slenda, but mmmmm!! Thanks for sharing!
