Why I Love This Recipe
Did you know that pumpkins are technically fruits? They're grown on flowering plants, which qualify them as fruits rather than vegetables!
Ingredients You'll Need
2 cups low-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla or plain
1 cup pumpkin purée, chilled
1/4 cup whey protein powder, vanilla flavor
1/4 cup almond or oat milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/4 cup crushed pecans or walnuts, toasted
1/4 cup granola (optional)
Whipped cream topping (optional, for serving)
Directions
In a blender, combine Greek yogurt, pumpkin purée, protein powder, almond or oat milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and honey or maple syrup if using.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container or an ice cream maker if you have one.
Freeze in the freezer for about 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally to mix evenly if not using an ice cream maker.
Once set, scoop out the ice cream into serving bowls or cups.
Top with crushed pecans, granola, and a dollop of whipped cream if desired before serving.
Pairs Well With
Pairs wonderfully with a spiced chai latte or sparkling cider. For an alcoholic pairing, try a pumpkin ale or mulled wine.
