Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe contributed by Plan Z dieter Cindy. What a great idea! She came up with a YUMMY Pumpkin Pie Smoothie. She thought of this when her daughter had a Culver’s Pumpkin Spice Frozen Custard and she really craved that!!!

From Zola: There is a healthy substitute for just about everything offered by any food outlet. Kudos to Cindy for coming up with this option for pumpkin on the run. I had one of these. Tasted just like pumpkin pie in a glass. For me, even just the yogurt kept me full til lunch but I can see adding the whey protein too. Be sure to use WHEY protein and not soy protein. We do not recommend the consumption of soy.

Servings: Serves 1

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/3 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cup coconut milk (experiment with this amount to your desired thickness)
• 1-2 tsp Truvia
• ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ½ tsp vanilla

Instructions:

If I make this in the morning I add a scoop of protein powder (this will add 116 calories, but 26g protein!) If I use the protein powder though I only use 1 tsp Truvia because there is stevia in the protein powder.

Put all of your ingredients in the blender. Blend on high until smooth, transfer to a glass and drink up!

I also sometimes add ice cubes in the blender to make it more like a shake, or even put in the freezer for a bit to freeze it up. Enjoy!!!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
