This smoothie tastes like a slice of pumpkin cheesecake and has 37 grams of protein, so it works as a real breakfast, not just a treat. It's a good way to use up the rest of a can of pumpkin.
Everything goes in the blender at once. Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder do the heavy lifting, and pumpkin pie spice does the rest.
