CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN PROTEIN RECOVERY SHAKE

CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN PROTEIN RECOVERY SHAKE

Because it's fall and everything in my life currently includes as much pumpkin as possible. This is also a good way to make sure your are maximizing recovery after workouts with protein and carbs to refuel until your next full meal. It's so yummy that it's the perfect reward for a great workout. 

Ingredients:

1/2 - 3/4 cup canned pumpkin (as you can see in the picture I froze my pumpkin in an ice tray to make cubes, I use 3 cubes in my shake)

1 serving chocolate protein powder (should be about 25g of protein, depending on your brand it could be 1 or 2 scoops)

1 Tbsp nut butter

Ice (about 10-12 cubes)

Water or Milk of choice

Directions:

Put all ingredients in a blender. I have found that it works best when I add them in the in order of: Pumpkin, protein powder, nut butter, ice and then water. Blend to your desired consistency and enjoy!
*I also add my creatine in here to help with recovery
