Vegan Pumpkin Protein Smoothie Recipe

I'm pretty excited to be sharing one of my favorite vegan treats... I mean, drinks, right now. It just so happens to be Fall themed! A pumpkin protein smoothie. I've been wanting to try out a plant-based protein for quite a while now, so when I was was given the opportunity to shop at Target.com for a Kashi® GOLEAN Plant Powered Shake, I jumped at the chance.

As you know I am a pretty busy lady - I spend many mornings on the go with G, so my breakfasts are usually in a cup. Protein is essential to my diet so anything that gives me extra energy is amazing. Plus the fact that's it's vanilla flavored, mixed with the pumpkin in this recipe... it's basically a little taste of heaven!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup organic almond milk (it can be flavored or unflavored - I like vanilla)
  • 1/2 cup organic pureed pumpkin
  • 1 organic frozen banana
  • 1 scoop of Kashi GOLEAN Vanilla Vinyasa protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3-4 almond milk ice cubes (or you can use regular ice cubes)

Method:
This is a pretty simple shake with little to no prep. I keep frozen bananas and almond milk ice cubes on hand at all times because I am such a smoothie drinker! To begin, simply gather your ingredients. Pour each of them into a high-speed blender, and blend until smooth! Top with extra cinnamon or nutmeg, and enjoy a little taste of Fall with some added 15-16 extra grams of protein!

I would definitely use this Kashi GOLEAN protein powder in some pancakes for J when he gets back from the gym (he's been going a bit more frequently these days) and you can even incorporate pumpkin into that too! I love that this product is vegan and gluten-free as well to cater to several types of diets.
Coupon Code: You get to try out the Kashi GOLEAN or Kashi Organic products now too! Use this code: TGTKASHI for $10 off one Kashi Protein Powder from either of the two product lines!

I am eager to try out Kashi GOLEAN's Matcha Tea Mantra flavor next! Also, side note: I cannot tell you how much fun I've been having sharing my food journey with you all via Snapchat and Instagram stories. It's been a blast answering questions and sharing great recipes with everyone, so thank you for being so eager to know about it all - I love sharing! Please let me know on here, snap, or insta if you end up trying out this drink! It's one of my favorites right now.

  23. I'm slowly sipping on an iced PSL so pumpkin is definitely on my mind right now, and how to consume it in more healthy ways since even a light iced PSL has so much sugar and probably not the best for me. This sounds like a delicious recipe, and fairly simple to make, which is exactly my forte! xx Adaleta Avdic
