Starbucks makes a Pumpkin Pie Frappuchino that is sooo yummy. Only it has 400 calories and a gazillion grams of carbs and fat. So I made my own.

1 scoop vanilla Protein Mix
1 TBSP Pumpkin Butter
1 tsp. instant coffee
1.5 cup water
2 Splenda packets

Blender it together for 45 sec. Add a few cubes of ice and blender it together for another 30 sec. or so. Pour in a glass and add a few cubes ice to chill.

YUMMY.

140 cals, 1g fat, 10g Carbs, and 24g Protein

you could use skim milk in place of the 1/2 cup water for a thicker taste.

Edit: If you don't have Pumpkin Butter, you could use some of that canned pumpkin and 1/8 tsp of pumpkin pie spice.

I'm going to copy & paste this to the Recipe Thread!! It sounds too good!!

I keep getting "I'm hungry" signals from my body, even though I know I shouldn't be. I find myself wandering the kitchen, digging in cupboards looking for something I can eat. Hopefully the carbs from the Cheerios will solve the issue. This is part of my body's communicating with me that I don't understand yet, so I'm just blindly throwing things at it, hoping to find the key.
