Pumpkin Pie Shake - a new official Trim Healthy Mama recipe! (S)
Oh my… this is creamy, Autumny, delishy and healthy! Pumpkin Pie Shake is both slimming and protein packed so if you want to start your day with a sweet breakfast that tastes of fall – go right ahead. Drink up for your health!. Or have this shake as an afternoon snack – perfect while you are out and about doing errands. This is a BIG shake so if wanting this for dessert – halve the ingredients and that will be dessert portion friendly. If you have dairy allergies – no problem, there are two delicious ways to make this shake – either using dairy or going with the alternatives. Both ways result in creamy deliciousness.
Ingredients:
3 Tbs Pure Pumpkin Puree
½ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
½ cup water
yolk of one boiled egg
splash of vanilla
1/3 tsp pumpkin pie spice and ¼ tsp cinnamon
2 pinches high mineral sea salt (like Celtic sea salt)
2 ½ - 3 tsp THM Sweet Blend or 3 doonks THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder (if using other stevia blends like Truvia you may need double amounts of sweetener)
1-2 Tbs Heavy Cream or Half and Half (dairy free version use 1 Tbs MCT oil)
½ tsp Gluccie (Glucommanan) or 1/3 tsp Xanthan gum.
Mix Above ingredients well in Blender – let sit for a minute then add:
10 large ice cubes (about 2 cups ice)
Once ice is well blended add:
2-3 Tbs THM Pristine Whey Protein Powder – or another plan approved protein powder
(for a dairy free version add 1-2 Tbs Beef Collagen Peptides instead of the whey protein– the beef collagen peptides come in the green can of pure beef gelatin from Great Lakes)
Blend well for another minute or so then… Enjoy!
Notes - The boiled egg yolk amps up the protein a little more and gives this a creamy pumpkin pie feel. If you have a source for quality, cage free eggs, you could use a raw yolk. You can also try adding a tsp of instant coffee to the shake for a further kicker!
