HoursPumpkin Spice Protein Gelato 🎃🍦 – Fuel your fall with a deliciously creamy, protein-packed treat! 🌟 Perfect for cozy evenings or post-workout rewards
Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree 🎃 (fresh or canned, unsweetened)
1 cup Greek yogurt 🥄 (plain or vanilla, for creaminess and added protein)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder 💪 (whey or plant-based)
1 cup almond milk 🥛 (or any milk of your choice)
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey 🍯 (adjust to taste)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice 🍂 (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
Pinch of salt 🧂 (to enhance flavors)
Directions To Make Pumpkin Spice Protein Gelato
- Blend the Pumpkin Base: In a blender, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, protein powder, almond milk, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Taste your mixture and add more maple syrup if you’d like a sweeter flavor. This gelato is mildly sweet to let the spices shine.
- Chill the Mixture: Pour the pumpkin mixture into a container and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare for Freezing: Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container, leveling it to ensure even freezing.
- Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.
- First Spin in Ninja Creami: Once frozen, remove the container from the freezer and insert it into the Ninja Creami. Use the Gelato setting for a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Texture Adjustment (Optional): If the texture is too firm, add a splash of almond milk and re-spin to achieve your desired creaminess.
- Taste Check: Give it a final taste and sprinkle a bit more pumpkin spice on top if desired.
- Serve: Scoop into bowls and garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for a festive touch.
- Enjoy: Relish your protein-packed fall treat and consider saving the recipe to enjoy all season long!

Best Season to Enjoy Pumpkin Spice Protein Gelato🍂
Season: Autumn/Fall
I’ll never forget the first time I made Pumpkin Spice Protein Gelato. It was a crisp October evening, and the leaves were just starting to turn golden outside. I was craving something sweet but still wanted to stay on track with my fitness goals, so I decided to experiment with pumpkin and protein powder—a pairing I hadn’t tried before.
The moment I took that first spoonful, it was like fall had come alive in my kitchen! The creamy texture combined with the subtle spice made it feel like a healthier version of a pumpkin pie. My friends and family loved it, too; I even caught my brother (who’s not usually a fan of “healthier” desserts) sneaking extra scoops when he thought no one was looking!
Since then, it’s become a fall tradition, and every time I whip up a batch, I’m reminded of that first experiment, my kitchen smelling like a cozy, spiced dream. Now, I hope it brings that same warmth and flavor to your home this autumn! 🍂
