I have never been a fan of pumpkin pie. Gasp! I know! It almost makes me un-American! ;)
BUT as I have gotten older I have found an appreciation for ALL things pumpkin!
This year I have really taken hold of my health and eating, so I didn't want to ruin all my hard work by indulging too much on this very delicious holiday. And that's the real ticket: Thanksgiving is just ONE day! ONE day to indulge in all those comfort foods while remembering to count your blessings and be thankful for all that you have. While I think it's important to be thankful and grateful everyday, I chose to keep my UNhealthy eating to just ONE day. The average American gains about 10 pounds by New Years, and I am determined to not let my past, predict my future. Skinny jeans on New Year's Eve? Yes, please!
So what's my plan to keep on track and only have ONE cheat day during this time of Thanksgiving:
1) Keep working out: not only is this a HUGE stress reliever, but it will help keep those extra pounds away
2) Keep eating healthy: Thanksgiving is only ONE day, and that day I will cheat (and it will be delicious and amazing), but as for the other 6 days of Thanksgiving week, I will be eating clean and healthy
3) Drink Shakeology Daily: this is a no brainer. Of course, I am going to keep drinking my daily Shakeology to help reduce cravings, give me energy, and boost my immune system! Everyone tends to get sick this time of year, but I am determined to not let it get me...but that's a whole other post...back to Thanksgiving.
Enter Pumpkin Pie Shakeology! Tastes just like pumpkin pie, but without the extra calories, fat and sugar that will wind up on my waist! I made one everyday this week and I just can't get enough! Besides, aren't we all tempted to have leftover pie for breakfast? Mine will be Pumpkin Pie Shakeology!
Ingredients:
10 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 scoop vanilla Shakeology
1 medium frozen banana
2 TBSP pumpkin puree
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Add all ingredients to a blender, and blend until smooth.
ENJOY!
