Pumpkin Yogurt

Pumpkin Yogurt is easy to make, low in added sugar, and high in lean protein and healthy fat. Great way to start your day and perfect as an afternoon snack

I think it's safe to say that I've made my love of breakfast very clear.

I am a breakfast eater - no matter what. Even when I have a 3:15am wakeup call {for a 5:45am flight}, I will be eating breakfast.

I typically make protein pancakes or egg muffins and have those ready to be reheated. However, some mornings I am out of pancakes or eggs or whatever, and I need something quick and tasty.

I did a week full of pumpkin recipes in October {which happens to be pumpkin month}, but I feel like there's always room to add a few more pumpkin recipes if they're worthy.

This Pumpkin Yogurt is more than worthy. It's creamy and dreamy and healthy.

It takes less than 5 minutes to make and can even be made ahead of time.

It has similar ingredients that the Pumpkin Pie Smoothie has but it is less time consuming and doesn't require any extra dishes to be washed. Yes, I love that Pumpkin Pie Smoothie with all my guts, but I love this yogurt almost as much.

And I think you will, too.

All you need to do is stir together some yogurt, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, a touch of maple syrup, and a little vanilla and/or almond extract if you're feeling fancy. Sprinkle with some chopped pecans and call it breakfast. Or snack. Or a lazy lunch.

It's a great way to start your day with protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins & minerals {potassium, calcium, Vitamin A}, without much added sugar {only one teaspoon from the maple syrup}.
