Pumpkin Pie Protein Shake

"This is based off of http://greatist.com/health/superfood-pumpkin, but I changed it for myself. I'm saving it here so I remember what I did. The greek yogurt gives it a slight tang. I would imagine using vanilla greek yogurt would make it more of a traditional pie flavor. You can use up to 1 1/2 cups milk. I like to soak the chia seeds in water for about10 minutes, but that's up to you. It's around 233 calories, 24 g protein, 8.1 total fat (1.3 is saturated), 7 g sugars, and 10 g fiber"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm 20, and love, love, LOVE to bake and cook. If I weren't so afraid of no longer enjoying it if it were my job, I'd become a chef or open a bakery or something. I'm going to college (taking this year off because I got married) and majoring in biochemistry and forensics, so I can become a CSI. I haven't decided what I'm minoring in, but probably psychology and one or more languages. You may notice that all of the recipes I've reviewed have 4 or 5 stars. That's because I generally won't rate things that I or my family didn't like or didn't turn out well unless I can think of a way to improve it or did something to make it better (in my opinion). I just got married and I LOVE it! To me there's almost nothing more satisfying than seeing people eating and enjoying what I've made for them!^_^
