A drinkable pumpkin pie made with almond milk and sweetened with just a hint of maple syrup. It’s filling, full of protein, fiber and is perfectly spiced.
I just finished making some pumpkin cream cheese muffins for a bake sale at work. It’s the most excitement we’ve had in the office in months! For me anyway. I got the email and knew immediately I was in. All proceeds are are going to charity. Can’t beat that! 
With the leftover pumpkin puree I got thinking about pie but it’s a bit too early to start making one of those. Around Thanksgiving I’m good for making at least three pumpkin pies. I need to pace myself! So I went with a shake instead. A drinkable pumpkin pie sweetened with just a hint of maple syrup.
A pumpkin pie protein smoothie is great on the go. Especially when you use a single serve blender. Whether it’s breakfast or just a quick pick me up. It’s filling, full of protein and fiber and perfectly spiced! It’s going to get us by until pie time. I’ll be back with that later!
