Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake & Pumpkin Bread

Happy Fall Y’all!!

So it just occurred to me that I FORGOT TO POST A FEEL GOOD FRIDAY RECIPE LAST WEEK!!! I’m so sorry!!!!!

I was feeling so good it must have just slipped my mind! Would giving you 2 recipes this week instead of one make up for it? Yeah? Okay, we’ll do that.

Since it’s officially (almost) fall, this week’s recipes are pumpkin spice inspired. Come on, I know you got excited when the Pumpkin Spice Lattes came out. I know I did!

Today’s video shows you how to make the BEST EVER Pumpkin Spice Bread & my favorite Pumpkin Spice Protein Shake. This is the softest Pumpkin Bread you will ever taste, I’m so excited for you to try it and seriously, this shake is saving my life.

I feel like I’m drinking a Ghirardelli Pumpkin Pie Shake every time I make it which is a HUGE bonus because it has 25g protein, nada fat and 0g sugar. You want the secret? Here it is!

Special thanks to Joseph Joseph for brightening up my kitchen with your trendy kitchen tools!
