Notes
Nutrition facts are calculated using whole milk. Other milks will have fewer calories and less fat but I love the creaminess and nutrition of whole milk.
If your protein powder is flavoured or sweetened, you may not want to add any maple syrup.
Be sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, in this recipe.
To make a warm version of this drink, use hot coffee or espresso and add it to a mug. After step 2, pour the protein milk mixture into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until hot. Pour over the coffee or espresso and enjoy.
