This $21 Plant-Based Pumpkin Spice Protein Powder Is Like Sipping on a Slice of Pumpkin Pie

A 170-calorie serving (two scoops) of Orgain Pumpkin Spice Protein Powder offers 16 grams of carbs and 21 grams of plant-based protein with no cholesterol. It also has five grams of fat, five grams of erythritol (sugar alcohol), and 290 milligrams of sodium.

Here are the ingredients: Orgain Organic Protein Blend™ (Organic Pea Protein, Organic Brown Rice Protein, Organic Chia Seed), Orgain Organic Creamer Base™ (Organic Acacia Gum, Organic High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Organic Inulin, Organic Rice Dextrins, Organic Rice Bran Extract, Organic Rosemary Extract), Organic Erythritol, Organic Natural Flavours, Natural Flavour, Sea Salt, Organic Acacia Gum, Organic Guar Gum, Organic Stevia, Xanthan Gum

I have a pretty sensitive stomach, especially to sugar, but this is easy for me to digest, as it's sweetened with stevia.

The first thing I made using Orgain Pumpkin Spice Protein Powder was a simple green smoothie, so I could really get a sense of the flavour. I used half a banana to sweeten it, but the protein powder was sweet enough. As I expected, it had a warm, perfectly spiced, fall flavour with an oh-so-creamy texture that I love.

Here are two smoothie recipes you can use to try out this Orgain Pumpkin Spice Protein Powder:

• Pumpkin protein smoothie
• Pumpkin spice latte protein smoothie

Besides the typical protein shake or smoothies, I love to add half a scoop into my oatmeal. But you can also use Orgain Pumpkin Spice Protein Powder to make these recipes:

• Pumpkin spice sheet pan protein pancakes
• Pumpkin spice protein muffins
• Vegan high-protein chocolate marble pumpkin bread
• Whole wheat protein waffles
• Peanut butter banana baked oatmeal
• Chocolate chip pumpkin pie protein balls
