This naturally sweetened pumpkin protein smoothie is the perfect fall treat. Packed with pumpkin flavor, protein, and warm spices, it's a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or refuel after a workout.

Ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree. 1 banana, ripe. 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. 1/2 cup almond milk. 1/4 cup rolled oats. 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. 1 scoop vanilla protein powder. Ice cubes optional.

Instructions: Mix everything together in a blender. Mix until it's creamy and smooth. To get the smoothie to the right consistency, you can add more almond milk if it needs it. If you think it needs more sweetness, add more honey or maple syrup. You can add ice cubes and blend again until smooth if you'd like some that is colder. Put the smoothie in glasses and serve right away. If you want, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
