Perfectly Pumpkin Smoothie

By 1 Comment

Those who know me well know that I LOVE my smoothies every morning!  I especially love to drink seasonal smoothies so I can taste the fresh produce from each season. Since it’s Fall, I wanted to share my Perfectly Pumpkin Smoothie recipe that I think you are really going to love!  You will feel so satisfied after drinking it, and your energy level will be solid throughout the day.

If you’ve never tried a pumpkin smoothie before, you won’t believe how creamy and delicious they are!  Even though this recipe is simple and so easy to throw into a blender, the flavors are amazing and you’ll feel like you are drinking something closer to a milkshake than a smoothie, but without all of the unhealthy ingredients.

The key is the quality of your calories and exercise. Typically you will need to replace your grain carb and sugar calories with high quality protein and fats and replace cardio exercise with high intensity training like BURST training with our friends Nathan and Jenni Oates.  This is what the bulk of the science and anecdotal evidence supports.

Diet Soda Drinkers Beware – Part 2

Our friends at HealthyOates.com recently posted this blog with so much great information, I had to share it with you!
