Is this smoothie good for me?
Absolutely! This protein smoothie is packed with nutrition. The pumpkin offers tons of vitamins, the almond butter adds healthy fats, and the protein powder obviously adds protein to help muscle repair. The banana and protein powder add the perfect amount of sweetness. I also like to add a fun topping of whip cream or cocoa nibs for more deliciousness.
This pumpkin protein smoothie is also vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and is low FODMAP (using the right protein powder). You really can’t go wrong with this recipe! I seriously make this smoothie ON REPEAT during fall, I really hope you give it a try;)
