PUMPKIN PROTEIN "MOUSSE" (and MAPLE PUMPKIN version)
/PUMPKIN PROTEIN “MOUSSE”
I love this nutritious-and-delicious recipe. It’s a fun and easy way to bring seasonal fall flavours into your morning yogurt bowl.
Pumpkin Protein “Mousse” is great on its own but it also works well as a dip for fruit or a topper for oats, chia pudding, pumpkin bread, or even toast! Give it a go and let me know what you think!
Ingredients for 1 to 2 servings:
1 cup thick plain probiotic Greek or dairy-free yogurt
2 to 4 Tbsp pure pumpkin purée, adjusted to taste
2 Tbsp Nuzest Clean Lean Smooth Vanilla protein
1/4 to 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, or more to taste
Lakanto Powdered sugar-free monk fruit sweetener, or sweetener of choice, adjusted to taste
optional toppings: sugar-free chocolate chips or diced Lakanto chocolate peanut butter or sunflower cups, granola, coconut chips, a little sprinkle of cinnamon “sugar” (Lakanto Classic mixed with ground cinnamon) or pie spice , or toppings of choice
Directions:
Put yogurt, 2 Tbsp pumpkin purée, Nuzest protein powder, and 1/4 tsp pie spice in a bowl and stir just until smooth. Add sweetener and adjust pumpkin purée and pie spice to taste.
Serve with your choice of toppings or as a dip for fruit or a topper for oats, chia pudding, pumpkin bread, or even toast!
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
