Tis the season…

Its October…. Which means its pumpkin everything… And that makes me smile (at least for the next few weeks, and then I get kind of sick of it).  BUT!  For now, lets relish in that pumpkin spirit!

For me, pumpkin isn’t really something I crave in the morning, so I have been enjoying this smoothie later in the day, as a snack or for a light meal.

Pumpkin Protein Smoothie

1/4 cup canned pumpkin

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Sprinkle of cinnamon

1 tablespoon almond butter

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 cup homemade cashew milk or coconut milk

Water and ice to blend

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Let me know what you think – and please tell me how you incorporate pumpkin this time of year!!
