Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake
Serving Size: 1 shake
DESCRIPTION
This pumpkin pie protein shake is thick, creamy, and packed with cozy pumpkin spice flavor. Made with pumpkin purée, frozen bananas, vanilla protein powder, soy milk, and warm spices, it packs 36 grams of plant-based protein into every shake. It’s completely vegan and comes together in just 5 minutes for an easy breakfast, snack, or post-workout treat.
INGREDIENTS
- ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder I use Ritual as my go-to brand
- ⅓ cup pure pumpkin purée canned
- 1 cup soy milk (unsweetened) I prefer Soy Beverage from Trader Joe's
- 1 cup frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder
Toppings (Optional)
- dollop vegan whipped cream
- sprinkle cinnamon powder
- pinch crushed pecans
METHOD
- Blend: Add the soy milk first, followed by the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust: If too thick, add a splash of soy milk and blend again.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy right away. Top with vegan whipped cream, crushed pecans, and cinnamon, if desired.
NOTES
- Use ripe frozen bananas: Freeze bananas chunks when they’re ripe and spotty for a naturally sweeter, thick, creamy shake without ice.
- Adjust the consistency: Protein powders thicken differently, so add extra soy milk a splash at a time if needed.
- Make it banana-free: Replace the frozen bananas with ½ cup vegan vanilla yogurt. I prefer Icelandic-style oat milk yogurt for a creamy texture.
- Check the sweetness: Taste before adding sweetener since ripe bananas and vanilla protein powder may be sweet enough on their own.
