​A few delightful variations are so easy to make.  Use Cheesecake flavored pudding and you can even fill a pie crust for a mouth watering pumpkin pie cheesecake.  Use vanilla to keep the pumpkin pie flavor at the forefront. In my quick video seen here on Instagram  #######,  I used chocolate pudding - because that’s all I had on hand and it was a delightful Mocha Pumpkin Pie Mousse. Just a hint of cocoa flavor was an undertone for the pumpkin pie flavor - giving coffee shop vibes.  Delightful!  I’m sure there are more flavor options I haven’t thought of - if you know of a variation please share.  Comment if you try this.  I’d love to hear feedback.

Are you into all things PUMPKIN SPICE right now, like me?  If so, Read on!

This DELICIOUS protein breakfast-bowl is disguised as dessert.  It’s so easy to make and packed with protein, vitamins and nutrients.  This was a huge hit with my entire family.  The full recipe card is below with lots of information!   A few of my favorite ingredients before we start:

You can find one of my favorite unflavored Collagen powders here

And you can find the chia I keep stocked in my pantry here 

One of the terrific things about pumpkin purée is that its loaded with nutrition.  It contains Iron, TONS of vitamin A, potassium and calcium.  Pumpkin is a good source of fiber too.  Typically people think of canned pumpkin for pumpkin pie, but what about a healthy breakfast instead?

Here’s my adaptation of this delightful fall dessert.  Adding greek yogurt and collagen powder to the mix increases the protein with little fat and sugar while making it even more filling.  Yogurt lends a creaminess to this recipe to satisfy the dessert craving.  Chia is great for overall health and lends a texture to this pudding like mixture.  It adds fiber and protein as well as good omega fats.  Making this a health boosting treat!  I use a flavorless collagen for this recipe to ensure pumpkin pie flavor comes through.  The dessert vibes come from the pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon while the flavor is enhanced and a subtle sweetness is added with pumpkin flavored “skinny” sugar free coffee syrup.  I topped mine with a handful of seasonal Pumpkin Spice Cheerios for the crunchy satisfaction of “pie”.  

At 270 calories, 21 grams of protein, 16 carbs, 6g fiber, 5g each of sugar & fat, this bowl contains 128% of the RDA for vitamin A,  104% vitamin C, 10% calcium and 14% of iron.  That’s quite a nutritional powerhouse to start the day.  Not only that, but this bowl is filling, satisfies the fall cravings and provides a ton of energy.
