PUMPKIN PIE SMOOTHIE

September 21, 2017 by

Fall is in the air and I see all the pumpkin spice items appearing on the shelves at the grocery store.  I thought I would post this yummy recipe to get you excited about fall.  Low in sugar because the pre-made shakes by premier protein have 1 gram of sugar.  3 carbs.  You can’t beat that especially if you have diabetes like I do.  Low sugar is the best way to go.  This is absolutely delicious.   Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 Premier Protein Vanilla Pre-made Shake
  • 1/3 cup of pumpkin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon of honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1 cup of crushed ice
    DIRECTIONS: 

Blend in blender or NutriBullet until creamy.
