Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake

It’s that time of year when the menu takes a turn toward a fan-favorite flavor: pumpkin spice. Pumpkin spice-flavored foods scatter the grocery aisles, and the coffee shops are selling their fall drinks like hotcakes!

Who says your post-workout nutrition can’t be festive and seasonal, too?

Here’s a high-protein pumpkin spice shake that is perfect for after a workout to refuel and replenish. With 18g of protein per 169-calorie serving, this shake recipe is a recipe to keep in your rotation if you’re looking to meet a daily protein target but are also aiming to keep your calories low.

While serving up a hefty 18g of protein, this Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake is also energizing, with 11g of carbs from the milk and pumpkin puree (a pumpkin is a carb, after all!). While protein shakes are a typical go-to for after you hit the gym, it’s also important to fuel up ahead of time, with a pre-workout meal or snack. This recipe works great for both pre-workout and post-workout nutrition.
