PUMPKIN PIE SMOOTHIE

Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie go together like smoothies and protein powder. Here’s a delicious twist on my favorite dessert. Since you can’t tote a pie to the office, this fits nicely right in your shaker bottle. Now you can enjoy it for breakfast, and all year round! Just one more reason to give thanks.

1.5 cups of vanilla unsweetened Almond Milk
½ cup canned Pumpkin
1 scoop of vanilla Protein Powder (my fave is Whey Cool Vanilla by Designs for Health)
1 small ripe Banana
2 tsp pure Maple Syrup
¼ tsp Vanilla Extract
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
2 ice cubes

Place all ingredients in the blender and give it a whirl. Enjoy!
