Pumpkin Spice Protein Gelato ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿฆ โ€“ Fuel your fall with a deliciously creamy, protein-packed treat! ๐ŸŒŸ Perfect for cozy evenings or post-workout rewards

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree ๐ŸŽƒ (fresh or canned, unsweetened)

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt ๐Ÿฅ„ (plain or vanilla, for creaminess and added protein)

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder ๐Ÿ’ช (whey or plant-based)

  • 1 cup almond milk ๐Ÿฅ› (or any milk of your choice)

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey ๐Ÿฏ (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice ๐Ÿ‚ (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract ๐ŸŒฟ

  • Pinch of salt ๐Ÿง‚ (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 youโ€™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 Gelato๐Ÿ‚

Season: Autumn/Fall

Iโ€™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 powderโ€”a pairing I hadnโ€™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 (whoโ€™s not usually a fan of โ€œhealthierโ€ desserts) sneaking extra scoops when he thought no one was looking!

Since then, itโ€™s become a fall tradition, and every time I whip up a batch, Iโ€™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! ๐Ÿ‚
