Peloton star Cody Rigsby shares his Orgain protein-packed recipes, wellness tips, and what’s next!

Protein is getting a seasonal makeover as Orgain brings out its Pumpkin Spice protein powder alongside a new Creamy Chocolate shake. From a fall-inspired protein powder that doubles as a dessert ingredient to a ready-to-drink chocolate shake with 30 grams of protein, the brand is offering delicious ways to add more protein to everyday routine

Orgain has also teamed up with Peloton instructor, author, and fitness personality Cody Rigsby, who shared how his approach to nutrition has evolved, his latest protein-packed creation, and what fans can expect from his upcoming movie.

Here’s a quick look at what’s new:

• Pumpkin spice protein powder: Orgain’s limited-time seasonal flavor offers 21 grams of plant-based protein, 6 grams of fiber, and less than 1 gram of sugar per serving.
• Creamy chocolate protein shake: The new A2 shake contains 30 grams of complete protein, 160 calories, and just 2 grams of sugar.
• More than smoothies: The pumpkin spice powder can be added to oatmeal, pancakes, baked treats, coffee, and even homemade ice cream.
• A focus on balanced nutrition: Rigsby is prioritizing protein, fiber, and sustainable habits as part of his current fitness routine.
• A little Hollywood excitement: The Peloton star is also stepping into acting with an upcoming dark comedy centered around a bachelorette weekend gone wrong.

Orgain’s pumpkin spice protein powder brings fall flavor to the mix

Pumpkin spice season isn’t limited to lattes anymore. Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder in Pumpkin Spice combines the familiar flavors of fall with a nutritional boost.

Each serving delivers 21 grams of organic plant-based protein, including all nine essential amino acids, along with 6 grams of fiber. It’s also an excellent source of iron, contains less than 1 gram of sugar, and has no added sugar or artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives.

The seasonal powder can be blended into smoothies, mixed into pancake batter, stirred into oatmeal, or incorporated into baked treats. It can even be added to coffee for a protein-packed spin on a pumpkin spice latte. My personal favorite is adding it to frozen yogurt and homemade ice cream for a fun seasonal twist with some extra protein.

The limited-time flavor is available exclusively through Amazon and Orgain.com.

A creamy chocolate shake with 30 grams of protein

For chocolate lovers, Orgain’s A2 30g Protein Shake in Creamy Chocolate offers a ready-to-drink option. Made with ultra-filtered A2 milk, each shake contains 30 grams of complete protein, including all nine essential amino acids and 3 grams of leucine to support muscle health.

A2 milk comes from cows that naturally produce only the A2 beta-casein protein, which may be easier for some people to digest than conventional milk protein. Each shake has 160 calories, 2 grams of sugar, and an excellent source of calcium, along with vitamins A and D. It’s also lactose-free, gluten-free, and carrageenan-free, with no added sugars, artificial flavors, soy ingredients, sucralose, or added hormones.

The chocolate shakes are available through Costco.com and additional retailers nationwide.

Cody Rigsby talks protein, pumpkin spice ice cream, and life beyond Peloton

Cody Rigsby has built a following through his high-energy Peloton classes, humor, and a fun and relatable approach to fitness. Now, he’s sharing how his nutrition goals have changed and why enjoying food is still very much part of the equation.

In our conversation, Rigsby discussed everything from counting macros and his love of dessert to filming his first movie and bringing humor into conversations about mental health.

The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.

You’ve been focusing more on nutrition lately. How has your approach to fitness and food changed?

“Nutrition has been my biggest struggle and challenge in my wellness journey. It’s always been easy for me to show up to the workouts, even on the days that I don’t want to.”

Rigsby explained that since the beginning of 2026, he’s been working toward changing his body composition by maintaining or building muscle while reducing body fat.

“I’ve really focused on counting my macros, and that’s been really helpful to me. You have to approach it with a long-term lens. You’re learning something new, and it’s going to take time.”

He emphasized that progress isn’t always consistent and that finding habits that work over time is more important than searching for a quick fix.

What’s been the biggest change you’ve made to your nutrition routine?

“The biggest thing for me was really just prioritizing protein. That was the number one goal. I know we’re all tired of hearing about protein, but protein is king.”

For Rigsby, keeping convenient options available makes it easier to stay consistent.

“That’s why I’ve partnered with Orgain, because they help me stay on track with my protein goals. I always make an Orgain protein powder shake after my workout.”

He also believes protein doesn’t have to feel like a chore, especially when it can be incorporated into foods people already enjoy.

You mentioned making protein ice cream. What’s your pumpkin spice version like?

“I’m super obsessed with making protein ice cream in my Ninja Creami,” Rigsby shared. “It gives me that sweet treat fantasy that I like because I have a horrible sweet tooth.”

His latest creation uses Orgain’s pumpkin spice protein powder to make a frozen dessert with pumpkin pie flavors.

He combines the protein powder with milk and canned pumpkin before freezing and processing the mixture in his Ninja Creami. For extra flavor, he recommends adding cinnamon and nutmeg, along with a tablespoon or two of instant pudding mix for a creamier texture. The finishing touch is crushed graham crackers, which I absolutely love for that extra crunch.

“I just like that pie crust texture. Then you get the pumpkin flavor, and it’s so good.”

If someone wants to improve their fitness and nutrition routine, where should they start?

“I think when approaching your fitness, nutrition, and wellness, I want you to have a big picture. But then start by finding small steps that will help you build up to that.”

Rigsby recommends concentrating on one manageable change at a time until it becomes second nature.

After making protein a priority, he began paying closer attention to fiber by incorporating more vegetables and whole grains into his meals.

“Big picture, start small, focus on protein, focus on fiber.”

He also encourages people to embrace consistency, even when their routine isn’t particularly exciting.

“Don’t be afraid of life being boring. It might not feel as exciting all the time, but I think when you lock in for a year that feels a little mundane, every year looks different and new and amazing.”

Your humor is such a big part of your Peloton classes. How does that connect to your mental health advocacy?

Rigsby explained that authenticity is central to his work, even when things aren’t going perfectly.

“If something goes wrong in the class, I think it’s better to just let them in or tell them I’m having a bad day as well.”

He believes those moments make fitness feel more relatable and help people connect with him beyond the workout.

As his mental health advocacy grows, he hopes to bring that same personality to conversations that can sometimes feel heavy.

“The journey for me really is bringing that same levity, laughter, humor, and fun to the mental health space that I have brought to fitness.”

He wants people to recognize that building a healthier relationship with themselves can include learning to laugh at mistakes along the way.

You’re also working on a movie! What can fans expect?

Rigsby’s upcoming film, currently titled Bach Shit Crazy, is a dark comedy about a bachelorette weekend that takes an unexpected turn.

“I play a sassy gay assistant, so not too far away from my real self,” he joked.

He explained that acting required a different approach from teaching fitness classes, particularly when it came to learning lines and bringing a character to life.

“I made sure to take acting lessons and to do as much work beforehand before I got on set.”

After recently watching the finished movie, Rigsby said he felt proud of his first performance.

“I was always nervous I was going to maybe flop, but I felt very proud of my performance.”

The hope is to bring the movie to film festivals before exploring streaming or other distribution opportunities.

One last important question: If you could only choose chocolate or pumpkin spice Orgain for the entire year, which would you pick?

Despite his enthusiasm for pumpkin spice ice cream, Rigsby’s answer was chocolate.

“I love that pumpkin is a seasonal treat. It gets you into the fall moments. It allows you to transition into the holidays. But I don’t think I could do it all year long.”

Chocolate, on the other hand, is his reliable choice.

“Chocolate is always like old faithful. I love the creamy flavor. It’s just good.”

Finding a balance that actually works

Between his Peloton classes, upcoming movie, and evolving nutrition goals, Cody Rigsby has a lot happening. His approach to wellness centers on something surprisingly manageable: finding small habits, sticking with them, and making room for enjoyment along the way.

If that enjoyment happens to include a bowl of pumpkin pie protein ice cream with crushed graham crackers, that’s certainly one way to make getting more protein a little more delicious.
