4.2 from 2 reviews

A creamy and nutritious Pumpkin Protein Shake perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout boost, blending pumpkin puree, frozen banana, cauliflower rice, and vanilla protein powder with warm spices and almond butter for a delicious seasonal flavor.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium frozen banana (50 grams)
  • 1 cup frozen cauliflower rice (100 grams)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (120 grams)
  • 1 serving vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2/3 cup milk of choice (I used whole milk)

Instructions

  1. Blend your smoothie: Add all the ingredients—including the frozen banana, frozen cauliflower rice, pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, almond butter, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla bean paste, pinch of salt, and milk—into a high-powered blender. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, adjusting with extra liquid if you prefer a thinner consistency.
  2. Enjoy: Pour the shake into a cup or jar. Optionally, top with your favorite toppings such as nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Drink immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy texture.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free or vegan option, substitute whole milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • You can use fresh banana and cauliflower rice, but freezing them helps create a chilled, thick smoothie texture.
  • Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice according to your taste preference.
  • Add ice cubes if you want a colder, thicker shake.
  • Optional toppings include pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
