My Love affair

So I have a love affair with Shakeology.  Those of you who know me are not surprised!  And luckily for me, my hubby knows and approves of this love affair!  Well, Fall is my favorite time of year, and I think this recipe just made me fall that much more in love with my Shakeology!  I will be trying this as soon as I get some pumpkin on hand!

Put a little Halloween cheer into your Shakeology this season. In addition to all the amazing Shakeology ingredients, you’ll also get the nutritional benefits of pumpkin, which contains lutein, fiber, and alpha and beta carotene. Plus, the healthy polyphenols in cinnamon help regulate blood sugar levels. You’ll get all the taste of pumpkin pie…without turning your butt into a pumpkin.

• 1 scoop chocolate Shakeology
• 1 cup rice, soy, almond, or low-fat milk (plain or vanilla)
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, unsweetened
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• Ice (optional)

Combine all ingredients in blender and combine until smooth. You can substitute pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon and nutmeg or add more pumpkin for a thicker shake. Makes 1 serving.

Preparation time: 5 minutes
