Stir up this pumpkin pie yogurt for a quick afternoon snack or light breakfast that actually keeps you full, with about 24 grams of protein per serving.
Combine the ingredients. Add the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, protein powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and maple extract to a bowl.
Stir until smooth. Mix until smooth and well combined, with no streaks or clumps of protein powder.
Divide, top and serve. Divide the yogurt between 2 bowls or jars. Layer the crushed cookies in the bottom as a base before adding the yogurt, or sprinkle them on top. Add whipped cream, if using, and serve right away.
Notes
Mix in stages: Stir the yogurt, pumpkin, and protein powder together first so the powder doesn't clump. Then add the spices and extract.Too thick? Protein powder thickens yogurt quickly. Stir in a splash of milk until it's how you like it.Taste and adjust: Yogurt and protein powder brands vary. Add more pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon for extra spice.Use pumpkin puree: Pumpkin pie filling has added sugar and spices, so stick with plain canned pumpkin puree.Toppings last: Crushed cookies soften on the yogurt, so add them right before eating.Storage: Keep the yogurt base in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Stir before eating.Food safety: Don't leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
