Pumpkin Cheesecake Smoothie

Pumpkin puree: This gives the authentic pumpkin flavor
Greek yogurt: This adds a creamy texture and gives the smoothie about 15 grams of protein!
Milk: Using this instead of water maintains the creamy texture
Jell-O powder: The powdered cheesecake adds the perfect amount of flavor without having to obtain some obscure ingredient
Graham Cracker: What&#8217;s a cheesecake without the crust? Use 4 small pieces (a full sheet) for the perfect balance to the pumpkin!

A simple pumpkin cheesecake smoothie is a healthier version of many heavy fall flavored drinks you’ll see around this time of year.

This season is jam-packed with sweet treats and fun drinks that may just overwhelm even the biggest sweet tooth. So, if you’re looking for something to keep in the spirit yet not have too much sugar, you’re in the right place.

You can enjoy it with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or add a dollop of whipped cream to make it more of a dessert!
