PROTEIN-PACKED PUMPKIN
ALMOND BUTTER
This protein-packed pumpkin almond
butter is the perfect spread for a hearty sandwich before or after a
workout that demands serious fuel.
And let’s be real here,
it almost feels like cheating, because of the creamy flavor. In
fact, this recipe is: vegan,
no bake, sugar-free, gluten-free, low carb, and low calorie.
Pumpkin and cinnamon is a
sublime combination alone, but the addition of almonds and maple
syrup really set it off!
I used cinnamon not only for
the taste, but because it is loaded with powerful antioxidants and is
well-known for its anti-inflammatory and blood
sugar-lowering effects.
Chia seeds are used because
they are nutrient-dense and
have energy-boosting power.
They are also protein-rich and loaded
with fiber and omega-3 fats.
Makes: 4.5 cups
Serving Size: 2 tbsp*
Protein: 10 grams
Calories: 110
*I tend to use 4 tbsp on my
sandwich because I can’t help myself. I also like a thicker sandwich, and
it gives me over 20 grams of protein depending on the bread I use (quinoa bread has a lot of protein).
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almond
butter
- 2 cups pure
pumpkin puree, canned
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie
spice
- 2 tsp organic
maple syrup
- 1-2 tsp
cinnamon (or to your liking)
- 1/4 cup ground
chia seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl,
stir together all of the ingredients well. Add vanilla almond milk to
adjust the consistency if it’s too thick.
- Taste, and add
flaky sea salt if desired.
- Put the pumpkin
almond butter into sealable jars, and refrigerate.
This
creamy pumpkin almond butter tastes so good, you wouldn’t guess that it’s
sugar-free and has half the calories of other nut butters. To
put this in perspective, two tablespoons of natural peanut butter will
have 160-220 calories.
I like to put this protein-packed pumpkin almond
butter on carrots, celery, pancakes, waffles – you name it.
