Pumpkin Pie Anyone?

[beachgal2935 596]

It's that wonderful time of year when there are pumpkins everywhere. I'd like to share my Protein packed crustless pumpkin pie recipe for those who'd like to try it. It's simple and delicious, especially for only 77 calories and 9g of protein!!!

Crustless Protein Pumpkin Pie

1 - 15 oz can pumpkin (not pie filling)
½ cup egg whites
1½ cups Premier Protein vanilla shake
¾ cup Splenda
½ tsp salt
2 Tbs pumpkin pie spice

Preheat oven 400°. Beat all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. Pour in pie pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes, then turn down to 375° and bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. You can also pour into 16 (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) cupcake tins. I like using silicone inserts.

It is best served cold and can even be frozen. Serving size is 3 minis or 1/6 slice of pie. Sometimes I'll top a slice with Greek yogurt (pic) but Nutrition info is for pie only.

I tried this last night, and oh boy, it did NOT agree with me! I am thinking it was probably the pumpkin or the pumpkin spice, since those are the only two ingredients I haven't tried before.

But it sure tasted good when I ate it.

@@toasty Awe, I'm so sorry it didn't agree with you. Since you are only 1 month post-op, you're right, it may be the pumpkin or spices. My guess would be the spices. Not sure what brand you used but they do differ. I have McCormick (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice) and Trader Joe's (cinnamon, ginger, citrus, nutmeg, cloves and just a hint of cardamom). I used Trader Joe's. At least it tasted good going down, right?!

@@beachgal2935 Yeah, I definitely enjoyed it in that direction.

I'll try it again later when I am a bit farther along.
