Your Choice, Hot or Cold!
Hope you didn’t miss our latest THM drink and holiday SOS life line we shared with you last week!
This coming season promises so much to look forward to… except of course the miserable, extra pounds many mamas are usually stuck with by the end of season.
What does a poor mama do?
Listen up Mamas!!! Please don't despair. You can "TRIM" the holidays healthy this year. You CAN get your slim on while satisfying your Holiday taste buds - never denying them one mouthful of "festive flavor" indulgence.
Enter our new THM “health spiked” holiday drink series. We have labeled them PIE SIPS because they taste just like holiday pies. You’re thinking… “nah, they couldn’t.” Give us some baby step belief here – they do!!! We have been tasting and testing and tweaking… and saying, “mmm, mmmm!!!” behind the scenes so you can now do the same.
Plug yourself into the taste of Fall. Our first PIE SIP to share with you is like intravenous Autumn.
PUMPKIN PIE SIP
*Bring 8-12 oz of water to a boil. Place 4 rooibos tea bags in water then set aside to let steep.
*Once the tea is brewed rich and red and the heat has cooled to just warm, pour the tea into your blender and add the following ingredients:
2 Tbs. of pure pumpkin puree
1/2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice
3 squirts of pure vanilla
3 generous pinches of Celtic sea salt
1/8 – 1/4 tsp. of pure white stevia extract (you need to be generous as you do want this drink to be as sweet as you like your pie) or plan approved sweetener to taste
1 tsp. of MCT oil or (virgin coconut oil)
2 tsp. of whey protein powder
*Blend until whipped and frothy - this is your pie concentrate.
(note – you can replace oil and whey protein powder with ½ cup unsweetened almond milk if you don’t have those ingredients)
Now take a second to muse upon whether you want your drink chilled and refreshing or hot and soothing.
For a chilled PIE SIP, pour your concentrate into a two quart, glass Mason jar. Fill jar to the brim with ice and then top it off with pure cold water all the way to the top. Stir, taste and adjust the flavors until it rocks your holiday world i.e. more of the sweetness of stevia or the caramelizing balance of Celtic sea salt or even an extra dash of vanilla or pumpkin pie spice. Enjoy!!
For a hot and soothing Pie Sip, add enough boiling water to reach a two quart size and then taste and adjust like described above. You can put this yummy mixture in a large stay warm carafe (cheap from Walmart e.t.c) and use an insulated cup for when you are on the go. Sip your pumpkin pie all day but please don’t forget to enjoy it at night by the fireside too. Great antidote to the evening snackies.
Here at TRIM HEALTHY MAMA your health and goal weight is always close at heart and forefront in our minds. Every PIE SIP we bring you will be brimming with antioxidant rich energy and nourishment. The reason we have chosen to create these holiday flavors in a large, 2 quart drink size in line with our other THM sippers like the SHRINKER has major importance. When you are hydrated properly, you are less prone to energy slumps that create pesky food cravings. Having a flavorful, low calorie delight to enjoy between meals is a safe guard against habitual, mindless snacking. You know by now that THM snacks are smiled on but constant hand to mouth nibbling all day will rob your progress. Also, this oversized "joy drink" enriched with the flavors of the season makes us feel blessed with a giant "can have" and weakens the naughty "shouldn't haves". You can take victory over your holiday head games.
The foundation of our Pumpkin Pie Sip is Roobios tea which gives a rich, deep earthy hue and an even richer nutritional depth. It is caffeine free, rich in antioxidants, nourishes the brain and detoxes the liver, which aids in weight loss and clarifies the skin.
Stay tuned for our two other delicious and nutritious PIE SIPS coming soon…
APPLE PIE SIP (in this drink you can even taste the delicate pastry crust and the vanilla ice cream on top)
CRANBERRY PIE SIP (Serene’s personal favorite)
The crowning glory of this PIE SIP series will be the WINTER WONDERLAND SIP which is as white as the glistening snow and tastes of peppermint candy canes.
Love Serene and Pearl
