Protein Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients:
2 large whole eggs
15oz can pumpkin puree
½ cup swerve sweetener, or yours of choice
2oz plain Fairlife milk
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ cup low-fat cottage cheese
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 scoops of pumpkin spice protein powder (I used 1stPhorm’s pumpkin spice latte, but any would work!)
1 pre-made pie crust
Optional toppings: whipped cream, birthday cake Halo Top, or even better- my Ninja Creami birthday cake ice cream 😎
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Set pre-made pie crust on the counter to let it come to room temperature.
Combine all of the ingredients into a food processor.
Press the pie crust into the pie dish. Use a fork around the edges.
Pour your mix into the pre-made pie crust.
Bake it for 30 minutes. Then reduce to 300F and bake for 15-25 minutes. Ovens will vary- check that the middle is done by sticking in a toothpick.
Store in the fridge overnight.
Eat cold and add your optional toppings or it is also great by itself!
