Thanksgiving came early this year! Well, at least the pie did…
A few days ago Chobani sent me some of their big containers of plain greek yogurt to try. I’ve been eating eggs for breakfast so I knew I had to incorporate the creamy goodness into a few recipes.
Last night I created the easiest Protein packed Pumpkin Pie you’ve ever seen. It’s easy because it only requires 5 ingredients and is no bake. Love it!
Protein Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients:
- Pie crust (store bought because this is supposed to be easy, remember)
- 1 cup pumpkin
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 1 package s/f butterscotch pudding mix
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Directions: Mix pumpkin, yogurt, pudding mix and pie spice. Carefully spread into the pie shell. (Careful the mix will be very thick and might crack pie crust.) Refrigerate for 1 hour. Eat.
I also paired rotisserie chicken with zucchini casserole and mashed potatoes. It really was like T-day!
I enjoyed two pieces of pumpkin pie for dessert. You know, in case the first delicious piece was a fluke.
This morning Ben wanted to take an early walk before work. Since I wasn’t sure if I should run today I joined him.
The walk was early and so was breakfast 
I should try to get to the gym at some point, but I also have other work to do. We’ll see if I make it there…

Wow, that sounds amazing! I might just have to give that one a whirl – I just tried out a “Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats” makeshift recipe that came out quite good – pureed pumpkin, vanilla coconut milk, oats, and some crushed walnuts – mix in cinnamon/nutmeg to taste… and top with a dollop of whipped cream. MMMM!
the best thing i did this weekend was drag my sleepy butt to spin class. i hadn’t been in over six months. it was definitely worth the trip. i’m going to steal your weekly goals too — they’re pretty much spot on over here too.
I DID THAT! And I thought I was gonna die.
Very cool! (Not that you were going to die, the other part.)
I’ll so have to try that pumpkin pie. It looks way healthier than the one I use and the graham cracker crust sounds like a good compliment to the butterscotch. Yum!
Saturday I had a pretty epic schedule. 5 AM run, then CPR training, then a few errands, then my 9 and 11 year old cousins’ bday party. And I ninja kicked it all. Crashed hard about 10 PM though. And I’m certified to save everyone’s life now.
Crazy busy day! Good job
The best thing I did this weekend was go out with all the ladies and dance/make an ass of myself to 80′s music. That is exercise, right? The pie looks great!
That looks delicious! Best thing I did this weekend was have an adult dinner, one where I didn’t have to worry about a 2 year-old’s palate, with my hubby. We celebrated our 6th anniversary! My mini goal this week is to snack less…or rather better. No more empty calories!
That pie needs to get in my belly, asap!
Best thing all weekend? Finally sitting on the couch & doing nothing except watch football!
I totally sat on the couch last night too – it was so good
love recipes like this!!!
How’d your party go?!
I am sooo sooo excited that you posted this recipe! I am in charge of the pumpkin pie this year for family thanksgiving…guess what i’m going to make now? yay!! (you’re my new hero)
Best thing I did this weekend? a 4.3-mile run for POTM!
That marathon video is insane! I can’t imagine running at your pace, let alone his!
My 5 month old niece was baptized yesterday. It was a beautiful day.
That pie looks delicious and creamy! Can´t seem to find any greek yogurt in mexico which is something I definitely miss from the states.
I ran an 8km race and a went to a party on saturday which was great but exhausted all sunday.
Mini goals of the week: go to bed earlier, drink more water and more vegies!
God help me, I put aside a whole afternoon to firgue this out.
that is such a fabulous idea. i actually just saw pumpkin pie jello instant pudding mix in the store the other day- it wasn’t sugarfree though
No bake = awesome! That pie looks so good!!
My mini goal is to eat less sugar, mainly my kids Halloween candy!
Ahh such a great idea with the pie! Chobani is the bessst I’ll totally look into making this
That video is so wild. I’d die running that fast for an entire marathon =O
That look delicious! And I feel like you could almost pass it as breakfast–pumpkin and greek yogurt? Sounds like breakfast to me
Yumness, I don’t think I ever get tired of pumpkin!! I must try to make this
No bake pumpkin pie? LOVE it. Two slices? No problem.
I also loved the Ryan Hall video…man is that guy fast! I also loved reading about your wedding bash + 1/2 marathon fun – awesome job doing that all back-to-back!
Thanks Bonnie! Hope all is well
That pie looks so fluffy and light!
I have 3 mini goals this week so it’s so funny you posted yours!
- No more than 8 hours of sleep (i could sleep for 18 hours if you let me)
- Pullups every night
- Greens with every meal (even breakfast!!!)
We’ll see how I do!
looks delish!! i cant wait to give it a try!!!
GOLLY!! Ryan HAll is a freak! That was awesome!
This looks so simple and delicious! Can’t wait to try it!
This looks amazing! Does it taste more pumpkiny or butterscotchy?
I got to run with real Ryan Hall! But he ran nice and slow with me.
Are you serious?!?! I’m dying – did I miss that post?
Yup

MotherFcker. I died. I’m writing this from Heaven.
Love that he told you you’d be tired either way and to go out fast.
Sound delicious. Plain Greek yogurt or vanilla?
I used plain, but vanilla works too.
Yum!! Butterscotch pudding is probably my favorite kind.
Also, where in the world did you find 2% Chobani?
The peeps sent it to me, but I think it’s out in stores like fancy Targets and WF.
Anyone know of a warm protein shake or drink? I love muscle milk in the am right after my workout but would be awesome if there were something warm alike to drink during these cold months. Packed with the same great nutrients that is. Chai tea/ vanilla spice kinda like.. mmm
I’ve heard of protein hot cocoa – basically just protein powder with milk warmed up.
Nifty! I can see myself definitely having quite a few slices of this–it has Greek yogurt after all, so it’s all good!
i think i’m going to try that pie with sugar free cheesecake pudding mix and then freeze it! <3
WOW!!! I just made this pie… SO GOOD! It would make an awesome layer in a trifle!
The pie looks awesome. I made a similar version but added some dark chocolate chips for antioxidants. Yummy!
That pie looks great! I’m going to try it with coconut yogurt. I’ll probably skip the crust – the filling is the best part anyway! I had to Pin this
That pie looks awesome!!! i just started working out this morning, hopefully back to healthier eating habits and work out schedule!!
Looks yummy!! Maybe a dumb question – But do you make the pudding and then mix it with the pumpkin, yogurt and spice, or do you just mix the dry pudding package with the other ingredients?
I just made this and tasted the filling– wonderful! Thank you for the idea. Keep the good ones coming!
I also put the extra pumpkin into a protein shake…. Mmmmm
Adoro me mostrar peladinha na web cam
sounds easy & tasty, but NOT healthy.
probl’y shouldn’t be called healthy.
Well, it’s healthier than regular pumpkin pie to me
Please give us your recipe for the zucchini casserole, it looks delicious!
I saved your pumpkin pie recipe to make for Thanksgiving. Holy moly it’s good. It was everything I could do to not eat it immediately.
Neut. Info!?!?
