When it comes to autumn, some people can’t get enough of the season. Whether that means doing all sorts of fall activities or going all out for decorations, everyone has their method. For the food lover, it can be just as easy to bring the season onto your plate. Bring more pumpkin to your plate this October by following our day in the life of a pumpkin eater.
Breakfast: Wake up in the morning feeling like Jack Skellington? Make yourself an array of pumpkin treats. With pumpkin pie oatmeal, pumpkin pancakes, and a good old fashioned Pumpkin Spice Latte, you’ll be ready to go.
Mid-Morning Snack: For the fitness foodie post-morning workout, get your hands on the limited edition Quest Nutrition Pumpkin Pie Protein Bar. Stock up on this sweet and balanced treat before they vanish like a ghoul.
Lunch: After a full morning of pumpkin based treats, you may feel the need to back off a bit. Try out chili served in a small emptied pumpkin to get just the right dose of your favorite squash.
Afternoon Snack: Need a quick handful of a snack to eat between classes? Grab some roasted pumpkin seeds for another dash of protein.
Dinner: After a day of dense meals, it may be a nice idea to go for a simple, light pumpkin ginger soup to cleanse the palate. Be sure to save room for your standard pumpkin pie to finish the night.
If this day of pumpkin plates doesn’t have you turning orange yet, give it a try.
