Sip On This: The PSL That Won’t Sabotage Your Fitness Goals
Sep 26, 2024Ah, it's that time of year again—Pumpkin Spice Latte season! Whether you’re a die-hard PSL fan or just looking for a cozy fall drink, I’ve got the perfect fitness twist for you. Introducing my PSL Protein Shake—a delicious, high-protein, and healthy alternative to your traditional PSL. Packed with all the autumn vibes and none of the guilt, this shake is your new go-to post-workout fuel!
What you need:
- 1 cup of cold brew
- 1/4 cup of milk of your choice (I personally love almond milk)
- 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree (more on its amazing benefits below)
- 1 scoop of Bub’s collagen protein (use my code TATIANA20 for a discount!)
- Top it off with a sprinkle of cinnamon
Add your ingredients, top with ice, give it a good shake (or blend) and you’re ready to go!
NOW… Let’s dive into the nutritional benefits of this powerhouse drink. First off, pumpkin puree isn’t just for pie—it's loaded with health benefits. It’s rich in vitamins A, C, and E, all of which promote glowing skin and support immune function—perfect for those chilly fall days when you’re looking to stay healthy. According to research, pumpkin is also packed with fiber, helping you feel fuller longer and aiding digestion .
Cold brew is another key player in this shake. Unlike regular brewed coffee, cold brew is less acidic, which is gentler on your stomach but still gives you that much-needed energy boost to power through your workout or morning routine. A 2017 study found that cold brew contains more antioxidants than hot brewed coffee, making it a solid option for fighting inflammation and boosting heart health.
Obviously, we can’t forget Bub’s collagen protein. Collagen is known for its ability to support joint health, boost skin elasticity, and enhance muscle recovery after a tough workout. Since collagen production naturally declines with age, adding it to your diet can be a game changer if you’re looking to maintain strength and recovery as part of your fitness routine.
Why This PSL Protein Shake Stands Out
Compared to a regular Pumpkin Spice Latte, which can pack upwards of 50 grams of sugar per serving–YIKES!–this PSL Protein Shake is a healthier choice. By using pumpkin puree and natural sweeteners (like cinnamon), you’re keeping things clean without sacrificing flavor. Plus, the added protein from the collagen helps repair muscles post-workout, and the fiber from the pumpkin helps balance blood sugar levels .
If you’re following a balanced fitness plan, fueling your body with nutritious ingredients is key. This shake combines protein, fiber, and healthy fats in a way that’s perfect for a post-workout treat or a morning pick-me-up.
