Ingredients
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup pumpkin puree unsweetened, canned or fresh
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla preferred
- 0.5 cup cold brew coffee chilled
- 1 large frozen banana sliced before freezing for easier blending
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder whey or plant-based
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice extra for garnish
- 1 tbsp almond butter for creaminess and healthy fats
- 1 tsp maple syrup optional, for added sweetness

Notes
To make this ahead, portion out the dry and frozen ingredients in a freezer bag. For a caffeine-free version, substitute the cold brew with extra almond milk or decaf coffee. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though separation may occur; shake well before drinking.
