🔪 How to Make Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

Serve with a little whip cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice on top.
💡 Tips for Making a Pumpkin Milkshake
- To ensure you keep things low-carb, always read the label on your ice cream to make sure there’s no added sugar.
- For an extra frosty shake, chill your glasses in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. This also helps keep the shake colder for longer.
- To enjoy the milkshake at its creamiest, serve it right after blending. If it sits for too long, the ingredients will begin to separate.
☑️ Storage Instructions
Because ice cream melts, you'll want to serve this shake immediately after preparing it. If you want to whip one up before your work out, you can stick in the freezer for a little while, then give it another quick blend before serving.
🔄 Substitutions and Additions
- Ice cream: Use a different flavor of low-carb ice cream, such as vanilla bean or caramel, for a unique twist.
- Almond milk: Substitute with coconut milk or oat milk for a different base if you prefer.
- Heavy cream: Swap heavy cream for full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version that adds richness.
- Protein powder: Add a scoop of vanilla or pumpkin-flavored protein powder for an extra nutritional boost.
- Collagen powder: Include a scoop of collagen powder for an extra dose of protein and added benefits for skin, hair, and nails without altering the flavor.
- Nut butter: Blend in a tablespoon of Pecan Cashew Nut Butter for added creaminess and healthy fats.
- Chocolate: Mix in some unsweetened cocoa powder or sugar-free chocolate syrup for a delicious chocolate-pumpkin combination.
- Frozen banana: For a hint of sweetness and creaminess, add a small piece of banana.
- Chia seeds: Sprinkle in a teaspoon of chia seeds to boost fiber content and add a subtle, nutty flavor.
Can I Use Fresh Pumpkin Instead of Canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin! Just make sure to cook and puree it until smooth before adding it to the milkshake.
Can I Freeze Leftover Pumpkin Milkshake?
While you can freeze it, the texture may change once thawed. It’s best to enjoy it fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can freeze them and blend again before serving.
How Can I Make this Milkshake Nut-free?
Just substitute the almond milk with a nut-free option like oat milk or soy milk, and make sure your ice cream is also nut-free.
How Do I Make this Milkshake for Those With Lactose Intolerance?
Use lactose-free ice cream and dairy alternatives like almond milk or coconut cream to create a delicious, lactose-free version.
Can I Use a Different Sweetener Besides Sugar-free Maple Syrup?
Yes! You can substitute with other low-carb sweeteners like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit sweetener.
What Can I Do If My Shake Isn't Thick Enough?
If your milkshake is too thin, try adding more low-carb ice cream or a few ice cubes and blending again until you reach the desired thickness.
