Staying on track during the holidays isn't necessarily EASY. #letsbehonestThe best of us can't do much more than roll away from the annual Turkey Dinner.
One dinner indulgence -- totally fine. But for me, it's when that dinner turns into the next day, turns into the following week, and before I know it, it's New Years and I have the extra 8-10 lbs of "holiday weight" that I vowed wouldn't happen this year.
So I'm staying on track this season. I am still going to have my family dinners, enjoy sweet treats like I usually would #nodeprivation but I'm also going to be aware of times I can make a healthier option, and not feel incapacitated for the following 24 hours. (If I overindulge, I literally feel as if I'm hungover the next day. OK sometimes, but honestly, most days I don't have TIME to not feel my best #MOMLIFE)
TONIGHT all I wanted was Pumpkin Pie. Or waffles. With Pecans. X 19384.
I decided to see what I had for ingredients and see if I could make something healthier, but still get the same gratification of dessert.
THIS was the result. The best shake I've had so far. And almost entirely healthy.
Ingredients:
1 tbs raw pecans
1/2 tsp pumpkin spice/cinnamon
3 tbs Pumpkin Puree
8oz Unsweetened Almond Milk
5 Ice Cubes
1 Scoop Cafe Latte Shakeology **
LF Whipped Cream
Blend everything but the whipped cream together. Top with whipped cream (optional) with nuts and pumpkin spice.
**Cafe Latte is not available in Canada yet. You could do this with Vanilla or Vegan Chocolate and add coffee!
Tastes like dessert, acts like a salad. Actually, 5 salads to be precise.
