Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake
Tis the Season to go Pumpkin! Ditch that Pumpkin Pie latte and replace it with this nutrient dense recipe. It taste like pumpkin pie in a glass! At 200 calories, it can serve as a light liquid breakfast, a post-workout shake or an energy-boosting ‘snack. Pumpkin is loaded with beta carotene, fiber and zinc that can boost your immunity through the seasons. Doc Peters and I use this as shake part of our breakfast. We also add in 2 eggs over easy ( from our generous hens) and 1 cup of sauteed vegetables.
This well balanced combo of protein, fats and healthy carbs offers steady energy for hours and optimal support for your hormone and metabolic health. Enjoy!
