Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt plain
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 banana (frozen or fresh) sliced
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup milk any kind
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3-4 ice cubes
- 1 tsp maple syrup if needed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
Notes
- For the thickest texture, use frozen banana. If using fresh banana, add a few extra ice cubes.
- Protein powders vary in thickness and sweetness. If the smoothie is too thick, blend in milk 1–2 tablespoons at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency.
- Taste before adding maple syrup, since the banana and vanilla protein powder may provide enough sweetness on their own.
- The 36 grams of protein is based on the specific Greek yogurt, milk, and protein powder used for the nutrition calculation. Protein will vary depending on the brands and substitutions you use.
