Protein Smoothies can be a really efficient way to replace a meal. They are energizing, and a great way to get in a ton of nutrients. They can also be a great way to power-through a sweet craving. This one tastes just like it’s name! Pure pumpkin is a great way to get in skin-fortifying nutrients.
I created this shake for Premier Protein, because I love the accessibility and quality of their pre-made vanilla protein shake. It has 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar…and tastes amazing! It’s great for on-the-go nutrition.
Enjoy!

Preparation
I am allergic to some nuts cashews being one. Can you substitute with almond butter or peanut butter without loosing taste or function?
Hi Melissa! I can’t believe I wasn’t notified of your comment- Ugh! So, to answer your question, yes to both. You can use almond milk easily – even almond butter instead of the cashew butter. Now is the perfect time to make this!
Made this with my 3 year old this morning used 1% milk is what I had but was thick yummy and filling. My kids loved it.
Stephanie, that’s great! I’m so glad your kids loved it!!! And I love it even more that you made it WITH your 3 year old. Precious:)
