Pumpkin Cheesecake Yogurt Bowl

I am obviously on a pumpkin kick right now, and I'm not complaining. This time of the year is the best for desserts, whether it's apple, pumpkin, or brown sugar cinnamon flavored. But why not make high-protein versions while still getting the taste of fall?

Once you open that can of pumpkin, you have to come up with a million recipes so it doesn't go to waste, and that's what I did. If you've been following the blog, I've posted recipes for pumpkin baked oats, a pumpkin spice protein shake, and a single-serve pumpkin chocolate cake (these were all amazing but especially the baked oats). Go check those out if you haven't, and enjoy this new recipe!
