Coach’s Notes:
Pumpkin Prepping: Freeze canned pumpkin puree in ice tray containers or a freezer bag a day prior. If you forget, add 4-6 ice cubes or a frozen banana for desired consistency.
Pumpkin Purée vs Pie Filling: Pumpkin purée is just cooked pumpkin, whereas pumpkin pie filling contains additional sweeteners and spices.
Sweeteners: Choose between honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, coconut sugar, or a sugar substitute.
Homemade Pumpkin Spice: If unavailable, make your own pumpkin spice or simply use ground cinnamon.
Banana as a Sweetener: If using a frozen banana, you can often skip added sweeteners as it provides natural sweetness.
Protein Powder Choices: Opt for good-quality protein powders. If vegan or lactose intolerant, try plant-based alternatives.
Almond or Coconut Milk: Both are low in calories and packed with vitamins and minerals.
Balancing Sweetness: If your shake is too sweet, a tablespoon of lemon juice can offset the sweetness.
