As the leaves change color and the air becomes crisp, there’s nothing quite like the warm and comforting flavors of pumpkin spice to get you in the mood for fall. But what if you could enjoy that cozy taste while also fueling your body with nutritious ingredients? We’ve got you covered with three delicious and healthy pumpkin pie-inspired recipes that will satisfy your autumn cravings while keeping you on track with your fitness goals.

1. Healthy Protein Pumpkin Pie Coffee

This Protein Pumpkin Pie Coffee is the perfect way to start your day or recharge after a workout. By combining brewed coffee with pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and a scoop of protein powder, you get the best of both worlds—a caffeine boost and a hit of protein. The addition of almond milk keeps it light and creamy without adding unnecessary calories, and the pumpkin puree brings in fiber, Vitamin A, and a natural sweetness that makes this drink feel indulgent.

Healthy Protein Pumpkin Pie Coffee

• Ingredients:

  • 1 cup brewed coffee (hot or cold)

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • 1 scoop vanilla or pumpkin-flavored protein powder

  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree

  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp pure maple syrup or stevia (optional)

  • Ice cubes (if making iced coffee)

• Instructions:

  1. Brew your coffee and let it cool if making an iced version.

  2. In a blender, combine the coffee, almond milk, protein powder, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and sweetener (if using).

  3. Blend until smooth and frothy.

  4. Pour into a mug for hot coffee or over ice for iced coffee.

  5. Sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice before serving.

Healthy Tip: Opt for unsweetened almond milk to keep your coffee low in sugar. You can also skip the sweetener or use a natural option like stevia if you're watching your sugar intake.

Smoothie bowls are a great way to pack in nutrients while enjoying a meal that feels like a treat. This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl blends together pumpkin puree, a frozen banana, Greek yogurt, and almond milk for a creamy base that’s rich in protein and probiotics.
