Hi All! I am 2 months post-op and having a difficult time getting in my Protein. I don't know about you, but the thought of Protein shakes makes me nauseous and frankly, I am burnt out on them. At the same time, I know they are a great way to get in a bunch of much needed protein. I whipped this up tonight and it is very delicious and filling. Not to mention I can't taste the Protein powder in it. Please enjoy!

pumpkin Pie Protein Shake:

1 cup 1% milk

1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder

1/2 c. pumpkin

1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 tsp/ cinnamon

2 graham cracker sheets

1 cup ice

Directions: Blend and enjoy!

This sounds great! I'm about two months out too, and I'm getting pretty sick of my shakes as well. I might leave out the graham crackers, though, as grains don't really agree with me. Thank you for the recipe.

GNC total lean makes a Protein shake in pumpkin spice that I like-

I do *one scoop of pumpkin spice 12.5 G protein, 1 scoop unflavored 10g protein and 8 oz fair life skim milk 13 G protein. It is 220 calories, but 35.5 g of protein and yummy but not to sweet! I am post op day 6 so I try to get as protein I can in one shake because it takes me a while to drink it or anything for that matter!

I might be advanced to soft dairy today.. Yeah!

* the directions say to use two scoops but it is too sweet for me that way.
