How to Make Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie
Toss Everything in a Blender:
Place all the ingredients, including frozen banana, frozen cauliflower, vegan vanilla protein powder, coconut yogurt, pumpkin puree, soy milk, almond butter, and pumpkin pie spice in your blender.
Blend Until Smooth:
Blend until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Serve:
Pour your Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie into a glass and add ice cubes if desired.
Tips for Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie Recipe
Achieve Perfect Consistency: If your pumpkin protein smoothie is too thick, add a bit more soy milk. Or if it’s too thin, toss in some ice cubes.
Protein Powder Matters: Use a high-quality protein powder that is free of added sugar.
Use Ripe Banana: A ripe banana ensures a natural sweetness and a creamy texture. If you want an even sweeter smoothie, add maple syrup or a Medjool date!
Optional Toppings: Take things further up a notch by adding toppings like coconut whip cream, pumpkin seeds, a pinch of pumpkin pie spice, or a sprinkle of coconut shreds.
Leftover Storage: Store leftover pumpkin smoothies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for the next day. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking to restore its creamy consistency.
Substitutions and Variations
Make it Nut-Free: For a nut-free variation, omit the almond butter or substitute it with a nut-free alternative like sunflower seed butter.
Make it Soy-Free: If you’re not a fan of soy milk, swap it for another plant-based milk of your choice, such as almond, oat, or cashew milk.
