Pumpkin Spice Latte : Healthy Version

It's that's time of year again....pumpkin everything, fall, sweaters, boots, pumpkin patch, and of course you can't forget Pumpkin Spice Latte. Yes, the Starbucks drink everyone waits for. With the delicious drink comes the high calories and sometimes over $5 ; depending on the size. Yet, we love it so much we are willing to pay.

Nothing wrong with treating yourself every once in a while, but why not try it in the healthy way. Half the calories, no waiting in line, and the price at $4.30 everyday no matter what size you can enjoy it when you feel like it!

Ingredients :  

- 1 scoop of vanilla or chocolate shakeology (I use the vegan chocolate)

- 1/3 cup pumpkin purée 

- 1 cup almond milk

- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (add more for taste)

- handful of ice

- rediwhip / cool whip optional 

Blend the ingredients together and enjoy! 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Power Balls

 

These babies are a delish chocolate snack that you are just going to enjoy. But EATER'S BEWARE you must portion these out or you will eat every single one until they are gone or you are full! They are THAT good!!

 

What you'll need :

- 1/2 cup Chocolate Shakeology

- 1/2 cup Quick Oats

- 8 tablespoons PB2

- 3 tablespoons of all natural peanut butter

- 3 tablespoons of raw honey

 

 

 

How to make :

- Mix PB2 with water until it is a paste (I used about 2/3 cup). Mix all ingredients, including the PB2 mixture together. It may take some time to blend all the ingredients together so be patient (do not get frustrated like I did). If too sticky, sprinkle a little more shakeology packet over top, so that it is pretty dry texture. Next, roll the mixture into small individual balls and place on wax sheet paper. This will make about 12 power balls (depending on the size you make them). Put into the freezer until firm.
