Really more of a Cafe au Lait, but feel free to pull a shot or two rather than use brewed coffee. I am a minimalist as far as possessions go, so I don't care to own an espresso machine.

.5 cup unsweetened soy milk (or dairy milk of choice)
.5 or 1 serving protein powder of choice (I am a Genisoy fan, use what you like)
2 T canned pumpkin
Pumpkin pie spice
.25 t Vanilla (can skip if you used a vanilla protein powder)
strong coffee
Your sweetener of choice (half a banana works well if the carbs are okay for you at this point in time)

Blend it up.

If I want this hot, I heat the soy milk & use hot coffee. If I want it cold, I use frozen pumpkin rather than add ice cubes because my (minimalist) blender is a piece of crap & does not blend ice well.

In my opinion, way tastier than the *$ version (although I love my *$), and made with real food instead of pumpkin flavored syrup.

---------

This is my first post. Briefly: I am a big soy fan. I eat fish but no meat. I do this for ethical reasons and I am very unlikely ever to change that opinion. I am not here to vegify everyone, okay? Feel free to use whey, egg, rice, or beetle protein.
