Sometimes I do not have time in the morning to make a hot breakfast. Since I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, I refuse to skip it. I need something quick, yet substantial when running out the door early in the morning. Instead of reaching for a sugary granola bar, busy mornings have me pulling out my blender instead. When fall approaches, I like to whip up this delicious protein packed pumpkin pie smoothie that tastes delicious and is equally healthy. Try it for breakfast (or even for an afternoon pick-me-up.)

A huge thank you to Chelsea Futterman for sharing this recipe with me!
