Pumpkin 'Pie' Shake

So I found a recipe for a pumpkin pie parfait awhile back and decided to put my own twist on it and make it a shake. It's pretty low in calories and it's really good. The one that I make with protein powder instead of sugar has more protein/fiber which is great for me post workout. I tried my best to get the calories, amount of protein, and amount of fiber for this one. I got the pumpkin, almond milk, and chia seeds from Trader Joe's.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp chia seeds (I add 1/2 tbsp when I add protein powder)
1 cup almond milk 

1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 banana
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 packet Splenda (completely optional, I use 1/2 scoop of chocolate protein powder instead for sweetness)
1/4 scoop chocolate protein powder (optional. add 72 calories, 8g protein, and 1g fiber)


Prep time:
<10 minutes

Servings: 
1

Calories: Around 190
Protein: 6g

Fiber: 10g

Throw everything together in the blender and blend on high for 20 seconds. You can throw some ice in there too if you want.
