It has been pumpkin season for a while now. Some people think it stops after Halloween, but at a minimum I think you have to keep it going until Thanksgiving. So, I present you this chocolate protein pumpkin pie. I always have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, and so I wanted to try out a little bit of a spin on it with this one.
Chocolate Protein Pumpkin Pie.
Pumpkin recipes have always been a staple for me, but I have never actually made a full-size pumpkin pie. I have no idea why. I am so glad I made one this time. As you can see, I put a little bit of a Spencer/MacroChef spin on it by adding the chocolate. Life is too short not to have chocolate!
I don’t know if you guys like the combination of chocolate and pumpkin, but I love it. So, to give the actual pumpkin pie filling that delicious chocolate flavor AND protein, I used a scoop of Ascent chocolate whey protein and a scoop of their chocolate casein protein.
As you can see, I added some chopped up Reese’s pumpkins to the top. This is optional, but absolutely delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who doesn’t love Reese’s. It was also just before Halloween when I made this, so the Halloween candy was plentiful at my house!
