Pumpkin Cheesecake Protein Pudding

Going basic this fall…Pumpkin everything! This is such a quick and easy treat with a good amount of protein and antioxidants. It’s a rich comfort food you can feel good about.

1/2 c pumpkin purée

1/2 c cottage cheese

2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp cinnamon

*optional: 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

Blend in a blender until smooth and creamy. Serve chilled. That’s it! (Would be great topped with crumbled graham crackers too.)

Makes 1 serving.

(I used Daisy brand 2% fat cottage cheese and Libby's pumpkin puree to get these macros. Some other pumpkin brands have more protein but I feel Libby's has great flavor, so you choose!)

Added health benefits: Pumpkin has been documented as a good source of antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogen, and anti-diabetic properties.
