Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (Paleo & AIP)

I may receive a commission if you purchase something mentioned in this post. See more details here

This is one of my favorite morning smoothie recipes! It’s tasty, easy to make and has high protein and healthy fats which help you to stay full in the morning and avoid a late morning blood sugar crash (like many people experience after having a breakfast low in protein and high in sugar or carbs).

This recipe includes grass-fed collagen hydrolysate gelatin for protein. This is a form of water-soluble gelatin that is a great supplement with beneficial amino acids and protein that can support joint, hair and skin health.

If you are on the autoimmune paleo diet, this can be a fun breakfast to have if you are tired of meat and veggies.
