1 Cup Coconut Milk full fat.* Can sub for cow's milk.
1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree
1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice**
2 Scoops Protein Powder*** vanilla
2 Cups Ice
2 Tablespoons Sweetener of Choice I use Erythritol. Honey, coconut sugar, or maple syrup will do as well.

Add ingredients to a high-speed blender**** (in the order listed above) and blend!
Taste smoothie and adjust sweetness to taste. (I like it as is, you may prefer to add more sweetener)
Top with whipped cream or more pumpkin pie spice, and enjoy!

Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
Milk. I swap between unsweetened light almond or coconut milk.
I prefer FULL FAT coconut milk in this smoothie recipe as it adds creaminess. 2% cow's milk will work (if you aren't low carb!) Lighter milks such as almond milk and coconut milk (found in a carton) can be used, but the smoothie won't be as creamy!
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, sub for 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
Make sure you like the flavor of your protein powder before adding it in! Check out these low carb protein powder choices for my favorites?
Not sure if your blender is high speed? Check out these Blendtec Blenders, I can't live without mine!
