Not Just for Pie


Today I will share my new favorite recipe to commemorate the completion of my first year of Zoning or more preferably, conscious eating. So here it is for your enjoyment:

Pumpkin-Apple Delight
1 cup whole Pumpkin, canned & unsweetened
1/2 a granny smith Apple, cubed
9 Almonds
Cinnamon, to taste
=3 blocks carbs & fat
***I like to serve this dish cold but it is just as good hot. It's the perfect post workout meal consisting of the starchy carbs essential in replenishing glycogen stores. Feed those muscles!

Note: For optimal results supplement this yummy treat with protein.

Yesterday's Food:
6:00 AM
½ cup lowfat Cottage Cheese w/ Walnuts
10:00 AM
2oz Lite Cheese
1 cup Grapes

12:15 PM
1.5oz ground grass fed Beef
½ an Avocado
Marinated artichoke hearts

3:30 PM

Cherry tomatoes w/ marinated artichoke

I love that pumpkin meal as well, but isn't it, as you've put it together, a little too high in fat for optimal post-workout nutrition?
