¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

Notes
- Protein powder: Choose a minimally processed protein with low added sugar for the best results.
- Milk choice: Unsweetened almond milk keeps it low-calorie; any milk can be substituted.
