Healthy Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie Recipe with canned pumpkin, yogurt and pumpkin pie spice. It’s a super easy and delicious post-run snack!

This smoothie is a great snack or post-run meal because it’s packed with a good ratio of carbs and protein. You should aim to refuel with something that’s about a 4 to 1 or 3 to 1 carbohydrate to protein ratio. This includes things like chocolate milk, yogurt, a turkey sandwich, Clif Bars…

Or this smoothie!

Pumpkin is really good for you!

But um, why?

It’s low in calories and packed with vitamins and fiber.

I used vanilla greek yogurt for the protein in this recipe but you can use regular vanilla yogurt or another flavor that may compliment the pumpkin pie spice flavor. I love using yogurt in smoothies and other recipes because it’s has protein and probiotics. And beyond the nutrition benefits – it adds a creaminess to smoothies that makes it taste like dessert!

This is a super easy recipe you can enjoy as a light post-run meal or snack. Let me know if you try it!
