You already drink pumpkin in lattes, so why not add pumpkin to a smoothie? Those were exactly the thoughts that went through my mind as I pulled out a few leftover ingredients from my fridge and tossed them in a blender. What it produced was unforgettable—I immediately wrote down the recipe and have made it again and again.
This pumpkin peanut butter smoothie smoothie is loaded with protein thanks to the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and protein powder. It’s perfect for starting autumn mornings or for refueling after workouts, and I guarantee it’ll be a lot more satisfying than gulping down a protein bar. Plus, it’s a great way to sneak a vegetable into your day. Forget pumpkin spice—pumpkin peanut butter will be your new favorite flavor combo.
