This Pumpkin Protein Smoothie is so cozy, high in protein, makes the perfect fall drink and it's so easy to make. I love pumpkin and I love finding ways to incorporate it in different foods. One of my favorite and easiest ways to incorporate pumpkin is in protein smoothies and once August hits you better believe it's pumpkin everything around here.
