It’s the season for all the pumpkin things! 🎃
My daughter asked for roasted pumpkin seeds so I bought a pie pumpkin so we can have the roasted pumpkin for a future use. It’s in the oven now smelling delicious.
Do you like pumpkin? What’s your favorite pumpkin recipe?
Pumpkin is rich in beta carotene, vitamin A, and fiber!

These were delicious!! 🎃 I made a baked version, but there’s a no bake version in this week’s newsletter that is similar. They’re both gluten, dairy, refined sugar free.
PUMPKIN BARS
INGREDIENTS
½ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup almond butter (I used homemade pecan butter)
⅓ cup honey
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly grease an 8-inch square pan (I obviously don’t follow directions 😁). Press a piece of parchment paper into the bottom of the pan to guarantee easy removal later (this would have been helpful but I forgot).
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, almond butter, honey, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking powder. Stir until very smooth, then pour the prepared pan.
Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bars rise in the center and no longer jiggle when you shake the pan. (Note: Glass pans might require five more minutes of cooking; metal pans will cook faster and more evenly.)
Let the bars cool completely in the pan, or for at least 1 hour. Then slice and serve.

Quick Costco run with my daughter!
I love how many organic options they carry and it’s always great to find something on sale. My daughter loves the samples. Who can relate?! 🙋🏻♀️
Happy first day of Autumn!!! 🍁🍃🍂
We’re finally getting nearer to cooler weather, enjoying time outdoors, evening fires on the back patio, seasonal foods, cool, crisp air. It’s all within sight!
I’m hearing a collective sigh of relief… 😌

Are you a snacker? Do you reach for something every few hours? Are you ACTUALLY hungry when you do or is it out of habit or boredom? 🤔
Did you know SAD (seasonal affective disorder) can happen in summer too?! 🌞
This summer was particularly rough on us with the constant high temps, so if you’ve been feeling a bit more on edge, stressed, having trouble with sleep, noticing low energy or motivation, you are not alone!!
What can help? Sticking with your routine, stay cool and comfortable, enjoy indoor activities or outdoor at the right time of day, talk about it with a friend, and try not to spend too much time doomscrolling. 👀 And thankfully autumn is coming soon!!! 🍁

Recipe time! 🍓🥥
Here's a yummy way to use up the last of the summer strawberries! This recipe is dairy free (coconut yogurt) and sugar free (unsweetened yogurt) but still super rich and delicious.
If you want to increase the protein: look for a protein coconut yogurt (just watch for added sugars!) or a Greek yogurt if doing dairy or you can add up to a scoop of your favorite protein powder ( add a little coconut milk if needed to thin it out a bit).

Do you struggle with sleep? 😴 Do you often wake up in the middle of the night and have a hard time falling back to sleep? Or maybe you just can't ever get going in the morning and don't feel rested...
Here are a few tips to help improve your sleep quantity and quality! 💤
Sleep is essential for our restorative health. Our bodies work on repairing and replenishing the different systems in our body for the next day. Protecting your sleep schedule is one of the best things you can do for your body!
Around 7-9 hours is a good guideline for how much sleep you should try and get per night.
Have you tried a body composition scale to get your current metrics? It’s a useful tool at looking at more than just your weight. I utilize it for looking at % skeletal muscle, body water, protein, metabolic age, etc to get a bigger picture.
The coolest part of using these is you get to see where you’re currently at and can explore any improvements you might benefit from. So great to see these improvements actually being implemented and see that progress over a couple of weeks or months!
If you’re interested in learning your current body composition, schedule a visit with me to review it! You’ll leave with a printout and a plan!
