What I Ate Wednesday … So Far.

By in Food, Life, Tone It Up, Weight Loss

Happy Wednesday, y’all!

This weeks seems to be going by painfully slow, but at the same time I’ve been having a lot of fun! Hornets game last night {yay for the W!}, dinner with a friend who moved home later this week and a wedding this weekend. 

Plus the weather has been absolutely beautiful. 

Did I mention how much I love October?

Back to the fact that it’s Wednesday …

Today all I have is breakfast for y’all. Don’t worry, it’s totally drool worthy AND there is a recipe at the end.

Bfast 10.10.12 What I Ate Wednesday ... So Far.

3 egg whites and 2/3 c chopped sweet potato, tossed in cooking spray and cooked at 425 for 20 minutes … topped with ketchup.

I really need to let go of ketchup.

My breakfast was chased down with a homemade pumpkin spice latte.

Slurp.

My pumpkin spice latte!

It such a super easy recipe that was inspired by Tone It Up’s pumpkin spice latte.

Directions:

- Start brewing your coffee.

- Mix 1/2c coconut milk, 1 tbsp canned pumpkin puree, 2 pinches of nutmeg, 2 dashes of cinnamon and 2 dashes of pumpkin pie spice.

- Stir to start breaking up the pumpkin.

- Heat the mixture in a microwave safe mug for 30-45 seconds.

- Stir again when it’s done to incorporate the pumpkin into the milk.

- Pour in your coffee.

Enjoy!

See how easy?! Added bonus: there is no sugar, you get to keep the 5 bucks you would have spent at Starbucks in your pocket, AND you have more calories to use throughout the day … perhaps on a glass of vino ;)

Are you a fan of pumpkin spice lattes?

Have you ever made your own?
