PUMPKIN MOCHA CUSTARD DESSERT LOW CARB HIGH PROTEIN
Like pumpkin pie?  Then you’ll love this decadent and surprisingly lean pumpkin mocha custard!

Pure pumpkin is combined with creamy mascarpone cheese and fragrant spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice.

Vanilla and mocha (or chocolate!) protein powders not only add metabolism-boosting protein, but also thicken and flavor the custard.

Topped with whipped cream and crushed dark chocolate is the perfect final touch.

This deliciously balanced low-carb dessert will satisfy your sweet tooth and help you to burn fat, boost your metabolism and feel your best all season long.

Don’t have mascarpone cheese? Don’t fret!
