Comment PUMPKIN for my high protein pumpkin smooth Comment PUMPKIN for my high protein pumpkin smoothie sent to your DMs! 🎃

Not kidding when I say this one’s been on repeat and I won’t drink or buy any other pumpkin smoothie because you can make it soo good at home! 

It’s balanced with protein and fiber which is key and just tastes like fall in smoothie form. 🍂Here’s what you’ll need: 

- frozen banana
- pumpkin puree
- pumpkin spice
- unsweetened almond butter
- protein powder — I’ll send you my favorite 
- flax/ chia or hemp seeds — these are helping to up to the fiber + add more healthy fats
- pumpkin spice
- milk of choice 
- ice

Things are getting more challenging over here (who needs zippers anyway??) but I’m having a lot of fun trying different things that highlight and accessorize the bump! Silk scarves have surprisingly worked in SO many ways 🍂🤎

Comment RECIPE and I’ll send you all the details! It would make a great side salad for fall entertaining or add chicken or salmon to make it more of a main. 

And if you’re wondering what my pick for best Caesar wrap in Chicago was, it was GG’s chicken shop with the one from Pitaki coming in second! Little victories is still on my list to try!
