Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice: Time for a Protein Packed Pumpkin Smoothie

If you're like me, there is just something about pumpkin spice. As soon as October hits, it's hard to not think about pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin pie.

One way to satisfy this pumpkin craving is in a morning protein-rich smoothie, that includes all the goodness of pumpkin, plus some other critical ingredients to build up that protein level.

If you've been following my newsletters (and my anne.engelhealth Instagram), you know I like to talk about the importance or protein.

And this Pumpkin Pie Smoothie delivers a very adequate level of protein to get your day started the right way.

As a reminder, leading researchers around the world are indicating that our current RDA recommendations of protein are hugely inaccurate, and recommend that we should be consuming approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight.
