How to Make a Pumpkin Protein Shake

if you're a person that isn’t very into a hefty breakfast, protein shakes are a great way to 
start your morning. During the fall months, many fruits and vegetable become more 
available for use. A tall glass of a frothy mixture can give you many of the nutrients you 
need to have a healthy and productive day, but what should you put into your shakes? 
The most popular fall food is pumpkin, so this article will show you a relatively easy way 
that you can make a pumpkin shake. 

Getting Ready 

The first thing that you’re going to have to do is gather all of the tools that you’ll need so 
you can make your shake. This will include getting a good blender, which can be either 
traditional, immersible, or one the newer designs seen in some infomercials. Next, you 
should pick out the ingredients which will be pumpkin puree, organic whey protein 
powder, raw honey or your sweetener of choice, a quality almond milk, freshly ground 
cinnamon, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and a banana. If you want, you can even 
include some ice cubes for a frosty treat. Making this shake with a cup of almond milk, 
half a cup of pumpkin puree, a banana and ice will probably yield about 2 cups.

Blending

Once you have everything together you’ll need to throw it into the blender. It would 
probably be a good idea to begin with the more easily blended ingredients like the 
pumpkin, banana, protein powder and honey. After you have gotten the drink to the 
texture that you’re looking for, it would be a good time to add the ice. You should place 
the blender on a grind or crush setting to be sure that you can break the ice into smaller 
pieces. 

Serving

Now that you have a delicious shake ready to be served, the only thing left to do is 
decide if you want to make any last-minute additions like toppings or flavors, and how 
you want it to look. Pour your pumpkin shake into a tall glass. You can go for a plainer, 
healthy shake by simply sprinkling some cinnamon on top of the shake, or you could 
throw a swirl of whipped cream with a bit of crushed almonds. This will not only make 
your shake look spectacular, but it will be super fun and delicious to eat.
