HMR Shake Recipe - Halloween Pumpkin Pie
Posted by Alicia Leeds on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 @ 01:00 PM
Halloween is my favorite holiday - spirits and spooks and dressing up like a kid again. But Halloween also marks the beginning of National Eating Season - a time for many which starts with bags of candy and ends with the New Year's resolution to lose the ten pounds that has crept on over the holidays.
Problem is it takes most of us months to lose those 10 pounds - if we can manage it at all. So prevention is the name of the game. Using HMR meal replacements through the holidays can help you save calories while adding structure and nutrition to your diet during this challenging time. Add an additional bout of PA to your daily routine and you could find yourself at your healthiest this New Year's Eve!
Here's a delicious shake that brings you the flavor of the season without the calories. Enjoy this as a smoothie using more water and less ice, as a frosty with less water and more ice, or as a pudding with a little water and no ice at all. You can even make it into a mousse using your food processor - use the HMR 70+ pudding and chop 1/2 cup of ice first, add a couple ounces of water and the dry ingredients last. Flip the switch and let it fluff up for about 5 minutes. Add a dollop of fat free Cool Whip and you have a dessert that rivals pumpkin pie and saves you hundreds of calories, too!
