Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

I am sooooo excited for autumn I just can't wait to start the basic white girl rituals. I got my nails painted orange and pumpkin in my smoothie. If you're ready for fall too, here's a treat for you...

Ingredients

• 6 oz. canned whole coconut milk
• 4 oz water
• 6 Tbsp canned pure pumpkin
• 1 banana
• 3/4 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• pinch on clove
• scoop of protein powder of your choice*

Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth.

*I only had chocolate protein powder on hand and it still turned out delicious. I'm thinking the most ideal protein powder flavor option would be 1st Phorm's CTC (CTC stands for Cinnamon Toast Crunch), and you can find that at any Supplement Superstore.

Chocolate Protein Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie

Just a quick note about today's smoothie...which is probably the most basic smoothie there is. But it's soooooo good.
I used:

• 2 Tbsp peanut butter
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• unsweetened almond milk--as much as needed for desired consistency
• ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in blender until smooth.
On hindsight, I should've added a tablespoon or two of ground flaxseed and maybe more ice cubes. Problem with more ice cubes is that it can really water down your flavor.
Anyway, that was this morning's breakfast smoothie. It's delicious any time of the day, especially when you have a sweet craving and fruit alone just ain't gonna satisfy.
