You either love it or hate it, but pumpkin season is in full swing! 

If you love a good pumpkin treat like pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, or even a pumpkin spice latte…

You’re going to love the smoothie recipe I have for you today.

This recipe is a great way to enjoy all that warm, cozy pumpkin spice goodness without lots of added sugar — and it even has 20 grams of protein!

Here’s the recipe…

Ingredients: 

• 1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 1 med banana
• 6-8 ice cubes
• 6 oz Greek yogurt
• 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp agave nectar or maple syrup
• 3-4 Tbsp of your favorite milk
• pinch of nutmeg (optional garnish)

Directions:
In a blender, combine pumpkin, banana, ice, yogurt, spice, agave nectar and milk. 

Then, pulse until smooth. 

If you want to reduce the thickness, just add more milk. Give it a quick taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.

Finally, pour into a glass and top with a pinch of nutmeg to enjoy! 

Each cup is about 290 calories with only 3g of fat, 49g of carbohydrates, and 7g of fiber.

Blend it up in the morning for a quick breakfast on the go, or use it as a healthy swap if you’re trying to reduce your sugar intake! 

Give it a try and let me know what you think! 

Get After It!
