Equipment

High-power blender

Ingredients

½ cup pumpkin purée frozen into cubes (about 5 cubes)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder I use whey
1 tablespoon almond butter
2 teaspoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
⅔ cup water
1 shot espresso optional for a pumpkin spice latte flavor
Optional topping of whipped cream & pumpkin spice dusting

Instructions

Add all ingredients to the bucket of a high powered blender. Blend for 30-60 seconds until smooth.
Pour into a glass, top with whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice if you wish, and enjoy immediately!

Notes

This smoothie will have the coldest, creamiest texture if you freeze the pumpkin purée into cubes overnight. If you don't though, that's okay. Throw in a few ice cubes to chill the smoothie.
My favorite high powered blenders are the ZWILLING ENFINIGY power blender, and the Vitamix E310.
Additional nutrition: Add a handful of spinach, collagen powder, chia seeds, or any other nutritional supplements to bulk up this smoothie.
