According to Erin Macdonald, RDN, and Tiffani Bachus RDN…

…energizing pumpkin and cinnamon give your protein shake delicious harvest-festival flavor.

  • Get pumped with pumpkin: Half a cup of pumpkin puree is low in calories (42), high in fiber (3.5 grams) and a great source of vitamin A and beta-carotene. It is also rich in iron (1.5 milligrams), which is important to make hemoglobin and transport oxygen throughout the body, increasing your energy level.
  • Spice it up: Cinnamon helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, and its natural sweet taste is a great addition to any recipe if you want to reduce the amount of sugar that’s called for.
  • Go organic: Use organic oranges when zesting to avoid pesticides. The zest can improve digestion, reducing belly bloat.
  • Almond alternative: Almond milk is low in calories and rich in the minerals manganese, copper and vitamin B2 (riboflavin), all of which are important in energy production.
