Prepped Veggies



As stated in my previous post I would be posting what I did with the rest of my veggies I had cut up for my daughter's Valentine's Day party. I thought what better way than to prep them for grabbing in the mornings for my lunches, or for snacks when we get home in the evenings, etc. I took this idea from several different YouTube channels (Mind Over Munch, The Domestic Geek & Cambria Joy)

Check out their channels because they are all amazing ladies; plus they are so encouraging for everyday health and fitness. Not only that but they show you some amazing recipes as well!

October means...

Yes, that's right! It is October and the Fall season is here. So what better time to sip on a yummy Pumpkin Spice Latte? Well I will say that I have never been a Starbucks fan, but I have recently received a couple of gift cards for them so I have come accustomed to their Caramel Frap and I have enjoyed their Pumpkin Spice Latte's in the past. (Man I could really drink one right now!...)

Anyway, I have found this amazing recipe on mindovermunch.com and have fell in love with it!

Ingredients
     1C light almond milk
     1T pumpkin puree
     1/2 tsp stevia (or sweetener of choice)
     1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or sub 1/4 tsp cinnamon, & pinch of nutmeg, ginger & ground cloves
     1/4 tsp cinnamon
     1/2 tsp vanilla
     1/4C espresso or coffee (depending on how strong you want it)

Procedure
* In a saucepan, whisk 1/2 of your milk with remaining ingredients (except for espresso) over medium heat
* Once it reaches a boil, turn down to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, whisking frequently
* Stir in the remaining milk and whisk until combined, allowing to simmer for another 2 minutes
* Add espresso and simmer for a final minute, whisking until frothy
* Serve as is or use a frother to finish it off!

The best part about this recipe is it is HEALTHY!!
