Protein Pumpkin Drink

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree canned or fresh works, just make sure it’s pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which has added sugar and spices.
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder choose your favorite! I love vanilla for that dessert-like flavor but unflavored works if you want the pumpkin spice to shine.
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based almond, oat, soy, coconut… anything goes!.
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice the heart and soul of this drink.
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, agave, or your favorite sweetener.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional but adds that bakery-style warmth.
  • Ice cubes optional – makes it colder and thicker, like a pumpkin milkshake.

Instructions
 

  • Combine Ingredients – Add pumpkin puree, protein powder, milk, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to your blender.
  • Blend Until Smooth – Let it whirl until creamy. Add ice cubes if you want it extra frosty.
  • Taste and Adjust – Want more spice? Add a pinch. Too thick? Add more milk.
  • Serve and Sip – Pour into your favorite glass (bonus points if it’s a mason jar with a striped straw).
  • Optional Toppings – Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a little whipped cream for fun.
