balancing a food obsession and a scale obsession

Hi, I'm Diana. Several years ago I lost a bunch of weight by completely changing my attitude toward food and exercise. Since then I've learned a few things about keeping it off and I'm still learning. Even if I'm constantly fighting off a few pounds, I can't imagine where my weight would be now if I hadn't made such a drastic life change. I'm a health coach for the Prevent program by Omada Health, and previously I was a Weight Watchers leader. Hopefully my silliness will help make your journey to health a little more fun. More about me here.

Pumpkins are my favorite flavor

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

I was talking to a group member the other day and she told me about a pumpkin smoothie that she makes. I sorta zoned out a little while I immediately tried to figure out if I had all the ingredients she was describing, such was my desire for said smoothie at that moment. I didn't actually have them but soon after I made a trek to aquire the building blocks of what turned out to be a delicious and filling treat. I have a feeling this is my new favorite breakfast!

Pumpkin Aloha Crush

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned is great)

1 Tbsp. ground flax seed

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spices or cinnamon

1 small ripe banana

4 chunks frozen pineapple

4 large ice cubes

Blend all ingredients. Enjoy!
