Although it's not officially Fall yet, PUMPKIN recipes are popping up everywhere!! So it is only fitting to bring you my take on a healthy pumpkin pie......as a protein smoothie of course!
With combining of few of my favorite ingredients in each of these smoothies, Pumpkin Vanilla and Low Fat Blueberry Protein, I made this deliciousness!
Of course it is super good on it's own without any topping, but if you have a can of coconut milk and you leave it in the fridge overnight without a cover it turns to CREAM and it is dairy free!! Whip it up with some liquid stevia in your stand mixer and add on top! Check this recipe for more detailed directions.
Sprinkle on a little cinnamon and you are done!!

Hello! Your recipe is amazing. Can you please tell me the type of canned pumpkin you use? I've bought Whole Foods and Libby's but had to throw out several cans (along with the shakes) due to grit-like substances in the cans.
Thanks so much for your help!
Brenda
oh that's horrible! I've used both of those brands without trouble.

OMG! Just made this for lunch and used coconut yogurt instead of the cottage cheese and it was amazing!!!! My second batch is already ready to go in the fridge for tomorrow!

If I don't have liquid stevia only packets, how much do you think I should use? Can't wait to make this! Thanks!
Brenda
1-2 packets but just taste it and see if you need more.

This sounds delicious, but I wonder why you make a point of saying pasteurized eggs. From what I read, the pasteurization process strips the nutrients from food and pasteurized dairy (cottage cheese) is difficult to digest. I plan to try with raw cheese and coconut substitutions. Thx for sharing 🙂
Brenda
Some people were concerned about eating raw egg whites.

I've been in love with your other protein smoothies using egg whites! I just got more at the store today.....so gonna have to give this one a try. Cuz I heart pumpkin too.....I've seriously been enjoying my winnings from the NuNaturals giveaway. So delish! I've just been adding the lemon & orange drops to my water....fresh & sweet! Thanks so much 🙂
Brenda
I'm so happy you like them just as much as I do Leigh Anne!! Glad your enjoying your stevia drops too!!
Diane
This recipe sounds wonderful!! But we can't have dairy!! So any suggestion to use!! I was thinking of using coconut milk or oil instead!! What do you suggest???
Brenda
what about coconut yogurt or yes coconut milk even.
Melissa
Do you have any dairy free ideas instead of cottage cheese/greek yogurt?
Brenda
Maybe just replace it with a dairy free protein powder or what about a coconut yogurt which is dairy free?

Years ago I used to make apumpkin protein smoothie but I havent done it in a while. This looks great!
Pumpkin is my favorite so I wait all yar for all the pumpkin flavored foods to pop up. Unfortunately most of them arent healthy so its always fun to make our own adaptions.
Brenda
Thanks Janel!

I love to put cottage cheese in my smoothies, but I wish it wasn't so sodium packed.
Brenda
I know but you could use Greek plain yogurt instead if you like.
