Pumpkin Protein Smoothie

There’s so much to love about this pumpkin protein smoothie recipe. It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s delicious. It’s fall-themed. But maybe best of all, it’s customizable. Try it with your favorite milk, or try almond butter instead of peanut butter. Want an extra creamy smoothie? Add some avocado! You can’t go wrong with this recipe.

Warm Autumn Oatmeal

When the weather starts to cool down, I love having a breakfast that is warm, comforting, and filling. This recipe for warm autumn oatmeal hits all those marks. The first time I made this recipe, I loved it so much that I ate it every day for about a year (cold weather or not!). It’s just that good.

Recipe Notes

Makes 15-20 balls

Variations:

  • Peanut butter: I love peanut butter in this recipe, but you could also try almond butter, cashew butter or even sunflower seed butter.
  • Shredded coconut: If you don’t like the taste of coconut (though mild in this recipe), try using chia seeds or sunflower seeds instead.
  • Gluten-free: Substitute gluten-free oats.
