Pumpkin Spice Protein Smoothie
Smoothies are one of my go-to breakfasts, especially as a mom of two. They’re quick, require almost no clean-up, and give me a chance to sneak in a ton of vitamins and nutrients before the day gets too busy. When life feels like a never ending to-do list, having something simple yet nourishing is such a lifesaver.
This recipe is one of my absolute favorites for the autumn season. It tastes like a cozy pumpkin spice latte in smoothie form. It’s creamy, sweet, and lightly spiced without the added sugars. Plus, it’s packed with protein, healthy fats, and hormone-friendly ingredients to help you feel full, energized, and balanced.
What You Need (serves 1)
½–1 frozen banana (depending on how sweet you like it)
1 serving vanilla protein powder
3 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 tbsp almond butter
½ tsp maca powder (optional, but amazing for hormonal support)
1 tsp chia seeds
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (I love this one here)
8–10 oz almond milk (or any milk you love)
Ice to thicken
Directions
1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour into your favorite glass or jar, sprinkle a little extra pumpkin pie spice on top, and enjoy!
