Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vanilla protein powder, and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Mix in the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed.
Add the honey or maple syrup and whisk again to combine, ensuring the filling is sweetened to taste.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the premade graham cracker pie crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to ensure it sets properly.
Slice into 8 portions and serve with whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your Pumpkin Pie Protein Paradise!
