carve your way through thanksgiving! 

This Thanksgiving you'll be counting your blessings instead of calories.  

Start by carving out a great holiday with a pumpkin protein shake! 

Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake

1 to 1 ½ cups ice cubes

Greek Yogurt

Protein powder with no carbs/no sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring

Imitation butter flavoring

1 Tablespoon Pecan Pumpkin Butter (available at William-soma) OR 1 Tablespoon canned pumpkin

Dash of Ground Cinnamon

Dash of Pumpkin Pie Spice

Sugar replacement to taste (if needed) 

Puree well and serve

Top off with a little Reddi Whip and a shake of pumpkin pie spice!

Note:  Greek Yogurt has higher protein than regular yogurt. You can also replace yogurt with Hood Milk which offers less milk sugar. Prevent dumping by keeping sugar under 10grams per serving, fat under 5grams per serving, and carbs under 20grams per serving.
