Equipment
- Kitchen Scale optional
Ingredients
- 1 scoop pumpkin or vanilla protein powder (32g)
- 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (180g) or milk of choice
- 200 g ice cubes about 2 cups
- 1/4 cup vanilla ice cream (60g) I used Edy's Slow Churned French Vanilla
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin (60g)
- 1/4 tsp each: pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum optional for thicker shake
- 1/8 tsp liquid stevia or 1 Tbsp granular sweetener of choice or to taste
- 1 sheet cinnamon graham cracker divided
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients (except the graham cracker) to your blender. Blend until smooth. I used a Ninja IQ for this. If using another blender, just make sure it is one that is powerful enough to crush the ice!
- Taste the milkshake. If it needs more sweetness, add more stevia. If it needs to be thinner, add more milk. If it needs to be thicker, add 2-3 ice cubes. Blend again until desired consistency is reached.
- Add half of your graham cracker sheet and pulse just a few times. You don't want to break the cracker up completely.
- Transfer to a large glass or bowl (room for more toppings!) Top with remaining half of graham cracker, crumbled up. Add anything else that sounds good and sip up!
- My favorite go-to toppings: cool whip and a little caramel sauce drizzle!
Notes
