Recipe Tips & Variations
➡️ Swap the milk: I love almond milk in this recipe, but you can change up the milk for your needs or preferences. Oat milk would make this extra creamy or you can use cows milk or the milk or your choice.
➡️ Nutrient boost: You can add flaxseed to boost Omega 3's in this recipe and could also add a handful of spinach, though it will change the pumpkin color!
➡️ Adjust the thickness: If you like a thicker protein smoothie, use frozen banana and pumpkin!
