Pumpkin Power Mousse

Growing up in New York, and now living in Maryland the fall season always seems to be one of my favorite seasons of the year. The temperature seems to always warm, but not too cool and nature always creates a beautiful picture that you can just get lost in.  The fall season also brings us the supper yummy pumpkin. Pumpkin is just one of my favorite things in the world, as it’s so tasty. Although the wonderful sweets we create with pumpkin like cheese cake, pie, lattes, ice cream and pretty much anything you can think of ,  aren’t always the most healthiest either.  So I wanted to come with an idea to make a nice pumpkin treat that can be satisfying treat after a hard work out as a treat to myself and to help me recover as well. This is how I came up with The Pumpkin Power Mousse. The combination of pumpkin, coconut yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder come together to create a yummy and not so supper sweet treat.

 Pumpkin Power Mousse 

1/2 Cup of Organic Can Pumpkin 
1/4 Cup of Unsweetened Plan Coconut Yogurt
1/4 Cup of Unscented Almond Milk 
1 Scoop of SunWarrior Vanilla Protein Powder 
1/8 Tsp of Pumpkin Spice 
4-5 Walnuts Crushed Up (Optional) 


Place all of the items into a blender and blend together. I used my bullet and the smaller 8oz cup to blend everything together in. I was hoping to make a whipped cream, but I don’t really have a mixer or standing mixer, but I think it would be a nice addition. You can eat right away or store in the fridge for later as a treat for after dinner.
