I blame pinterest and instagram for the canned pumpkin shortage! Every time I head to the grocery store for pumpkin, the shelves are empty. There are just too many tasty looking pumpkin treats on social media, I think we’re all trying to maximize those fall flavors and enjoy every bit of it.
But, I kept going back to the store, because I was dreaming about these “ice cream sandwiches”. I was imagining a combination of some of my favorite treats:
How to make protein pumpkin ice cream sandwhiches
All I did was put in a blender:
- Pumpkin
- Protein powder
- Almond Milk
- Sugar free pudding mix
- and xantham gum.
Then, once blended, I split the pudding into 4 servings, one scoop on each graham cracker.
Then, came my favorite part. I added a scoop of light cool whip, and covered it with a graham cracker to make the sandwich. (see my break down of the Cool Whip nutrition here)
I really could just eat it right then and there, and I did eat some that way. But, putting it in the freezer for just 20-30 minutes made the inside firm enough that it didn’t squeeze out at the first bite.
You can also leave the pumpkin pudding as a dip for a graham cracker, and I did that as well!
So, give these protein pumpkin ice cream sandwiches a try and let me know what you think!
