Smooth and creamy with warm spices, a little vanilla, and of course, pumpkin. This smoothie tastes like liquid pumpkin pie. Puree it all in a blender and you have a nutritious smoothie for a healthy fall breakfast.

Notes
Dessert for breakfast? Why not. The pumpkin spice stevia drops are made by SweetLeaf, or use regular maple syrup. This keto maple syrup is terrific and what I now use to reduce sugar. It tastes terrific so why not reduce the sugar.
Instead of individual spices you can use pumpkin spice blend. If it gets too thick, add water and blend.
The protein levels in this smoothie will vary depending on what you use and how much.
If you want it even creamier and richer with some healthy fat, add 2 tablespoons of canned coconut milk.
