Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (I also peel off the skins for a super smooth and creamy texture)
  • ½ cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 1 serving (about ½ cup, or 46 grams) vanilla protein powder (I use Orgain)
  • ¼ cup cashew butter
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips, optional OR pepitas (pumpkin seeds), dried cranberries, etc. to mix in
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients (except optional additional ingredients) in a high speed blender (such as a Vitamix) or a food processor until creamy. Stir in any additional add-ins by hand.
  2. I like to portion this out into 4 little cute serving containers as meal-prep, but this is optional!
  3. Store in refrigerator.
