This is one of yummiest things I've come up with so far, and I wasn't sure whether to put it in sweet treats, breakfast ideas, or quick meals because it fits all three categories. I live in the Pacific Northwest and one of the things I miss is Burgerville's pumpkin milkshake. This is a great creamy, ice-cream-like, high protein, low-carb alternative. It's comfort food!

Ingredients:

1 serving vanilla protein powder (I used EAS Simply Protein powder, Vanilla Cream flavor which has 3 carbs per 2 scoop serving.)

1 cup water

4 ice cubes

1/4 cup pumpkin (2 carbs)

1 tbs. heavly cream (1 carb)

1 packet Splenda (1 carb)

1/2 tsp vanilla

Splash of Davinci gingerbread sugar-free syrup

Cinnamin & Nutmeg to taste.

Blend all ingredients together until ice is crushed and shake well-mixed, creamy, and frothy. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Enjoy!!!
