Did you know a grande pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks has 50g of sugar, 14g of fat, and nearly 400 calories? I always tell my clients “it’s not about the total number of fat or calories you’re consuming, it’s about where these are coming from.” 400 calories from artificial sugar and sweeteners is much different than 400 calories of pure pumpkin. This is an uncaffeinated version but you could easily add your fave coffee or espresso for a pick me up!INGREDIENTS:
- ¼ c pumpkin puree
- 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder – I recommend using LadyBoss LEAN. It’s vanilla cake flavored and pairs perfectly with this recipe. Even my kids enjoy it!
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- ½ tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- Handful of ice cubes
- Dollop of fat-free Reddi-Wip
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Blend everything together and top with fat-free Reddi-Wip. It’s that easy!

Lady60-Second Apple Pie
We couldn’t forget about our other seasonal favorite, apple pie! Although, apples are good for you, when you coat them with sugar and put them in a buttery crust, this changes the overall nutrition value. This recipe tastes nearly identical to a traditional apple pie, but is much quicker to make, and more healthy.
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz. unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop of LadyBoss LEAN protein powder
1 apple cut into pieces
1 tsp. butter extract
1 tsp. cinnamon
Handful of ice cubes
Optional: 1 piece of gluten-free graham cracker
INSTRUCTIONS:
Put all ingredients into a blender. Blend ingredients until it’s a shake-like consistency.
