Pumpkin Head

Alright guys, so... even though fall does NOT come to Florida, I am bringing it.... how, you might ask? PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!

Pumpkin is sooooo good for you! Pumpkin is full of vitamin A (good for your skin, hair & nails), iron, fiber AND potassium!! So it's a great alternative for all you banana haters out there (... although I'm not quite sure how it's possible to hate bananas).

Here are some recipes that I have concocted today!

This morning I had a ...
Cocoa-pumpkin-espressochino!

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp pumpkin puree
1 tbsp espresso instant coffee
1 packet stevia
1/2 tsp cinnamon (adjust to your liking)
1/4 tsp nutmeg (adjust... again)
1/2 cup almond milk
3 ice cubes

Stick all that into a blender and enjoy some pumpkin with your daily egg-fast!

Tonight I made....
Pumpkin-raisin-almond energy bars!

1 cup GF rolled oats
1/2 cup milled flaxseed
1/2 pumpkin puree
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup almonds (chopped in half)
1/3 cup honey
1 egg white
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Pre-heat over to 400 degrees. Mix it all together in a large bowl, spray an 8x8 brownie pan with cooking spray, cook for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven! Let cool, cut & wrap to keep fresh! I cut mine into 8 bars!

Fresh outta the oven! 

All wrapped up & headed to the freezer :)


SO! Both these recipes used ONLY all natural ingredients & would be considered CLEAN EATING! Hooray! So, test em out, enjoy !

Did I tell you all that I have a new life goal?
I am going to open a completely 100% gluten free cafe when City Year is over... well, maybe a few years after City Year is over!

BUT! Help me reach my goals & give me feedback!
I release my fears & I choose love. The universe will provide the means necessary if I offer my love unto it.

Goodnight beautiful people <3
