Pumpkin Spice Protein Smoothie

My best friend and I decided to make the ultimate commitment of our adult lives and join a gym. Sounds silly, but this is a big step for us. I have always been a very active person, and enjoy everything from hiking, running, Zumba, and ballet-pilates hybrid classes. But a lot of this hard work can go to waste if you don't replenish your body after a good workout. This post-workout Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is a perfect fall treat without the guilt of slamming down an actual slice of pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin Spice Protein Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
• 1 cup milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• pinch of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger (or use your homemade Pumpkin Spice)

Blend everything until smooth in a blender. Enjoy!
