A rich and smooth pumpkin pie flavored protein smoothie with almond butter and warm spices, perfect for cozy breakfasts or post-workout refuels.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant-based recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter (natural, unsweetened)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4–5 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: Measure out pumpkin puree, almond butter, protein powder, spices, and liquids.
  2. Pour 1 cup almond milk into the blender.
  3. Add 1 cup pumpkin puree and 2 tablespoons almond butter to the blender.
  4. Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ginger.
  5. Pour in 1 tablespoon maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Add 4-5 ice cubes for thickness and chill.
  7. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides if needed.
  8. Taste and adjust thickness or spice by adding more almond milk or cinnamon if desired.
  9. Serve immediately in a glass.

Notes

Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Blend liquids first to avoid clumps. Adjust ice and almond milk to preferred thickness. Freshly ground spices enhance flavor. Best served fresh; can be stored in fridge up to 24 hours but may lose creaminess. For keto, swap maple syrup with low-carb sweetener. Variations include adding spinach, frozen banana, or swapping almond butter for other nut butters.
