Get ready to just love life and eat 10 of these everyday, because guess what? They are only 31 calories a ball…. YEP, thats right.  Of course I was going to figure out a way for a little pumpkin treat everyday that has the right amount of goodness and macros.  Tis the season!  Try these babies and let me know how you like them.  

What you need…

  1. 3 Tbsp Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips These are dairy, nut and soy free.
  2. 15 oz Can Organic Pumpkin Pure
  3. 1 Scoop Plant Based Vanilla Protein (I like this one)
  4. 1-1/2 Cups Quick Rolled Oats 
  5. 3 Drops Vanilla Cream Sweet Drops
  6. 3 Tsp Brown Sugar
  7. 2 Tsp Organic Pumpkin Spice 
  1. Mix Oats, protein powder, and pumpkin puree and thoroughly mix together.  Add in Brown sugar, sweet drops and chocolate chips. OR you can add the chocolate chips to each ball after they’re rolled out.
  2. Roll each ball and place in a plastic container to store in the fridge.  It’s nice to pre-make these for the week and have them all week to grab and go!  This mix should make 30 balls.  Each ball should be bite size. 

Have fun with them though!  I sometimes put a couple on top of my halo top at night. So good!

THE FAB 4 SMOOTHIE… where do I even begin about this amazing smoothie.

WELL.. if you guys follow me on my IG stories and snapchat you know that I drink this baby every morning. 

Lets back it up here, I recently found Be Well By Kelly.  @bewellbykelly on instagram and saw her Fab 4 smoothie Idea and FELL IN LOVE with her & the smoothie.  She’s so informative and knowledgeable when it comes to health.  

Her fab 4 smoothie gave me loads and loads of ideas for smoothies.  I’ve been drinking and testing out tons of different recipes all Summer long, and I’ve got one I want to share with you now!  I love this one, and hope you do too.  

So why do I love it so much?  Well, it keeps me full and satisfied longer, also starts my day off on the right foot, so I’m always reaching for good things throughout the day.  It helps control your blood sugar levels so they don’t spike soon after eating, therefore making you feel like you want all the carbs.

What does Fab 4 Smoothie mean?  

“The #bewellsmoothie is a formula to help you develop a blood sugar balancing meal replacement shake in any flavor with enough protein, fat and fiber to keep you full. Many juice shops, grocery smoothie bars and smoothie recipes are loaded with sugar, specifically fructose sugar from excess fruit. Fructose sugar stores as fat 20-30% faster than glucose. The #bewellsmoothie limits fructose to 1/4 cup. 

#FAB4Smoothie : Protein (20g min) + Fiber (10g min) + 1 Tbsp. Fat + Handful Greens + 1/4 Cup Fruit + Superfoods + Liquid“

There is the formula!  I’ve followed this every single morning the whole Summer, and I can honestly tell you it works!  I used to eat breakfast and feel STARVED after an hour, now I eat and feel satisfied for a good 3-4 hours before I eat again.  

I never crave anything sugary or carby (carby?) haha yep carby.  So if you’re looking to shed some LB’S and trying to keep satisfied, try it out!  I will keep sharing my smoothie ideas with you on my stories, so make sure to follow along.

Try it for yourself & let me know how you like it!
