Pumpkin Pie Roll {WIAW}

October 30, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

.

With only 3 weeks until my competition, you may have been expecting to hear about a new change to my nutrition plan today. Guess what? No changes! Except for the lack of cheat meals & wine, the plan remains the same for now.

Pumpkin-Pie-Roll2

I’m checking in with progress photos twice a week, though, so this could change at any time. I have to say, I feel very spoiled. And I’m NOT complaining at all. I love my trainer!

One of the snacks I’ve been totally hooked on recently started with Laura’s Peanut Butter Apple Cinnamon Roll. If you haven’t made that one yet, I highly recommend it! I ate that for a snack for at least 5 days before I decided to create a pumpkin version of my own.

My version is a little less cinnamon roll, and a little more carby treat. It still tastes decadent, thanks to the healthy frosting topping. I’ve created this version last week and added it back to my meal plan this week too. Recipe located at the end of this post.

WIAW

As for the rest of my meals? I’m going with the quick version of today’s recap.

  1. Egg Whites topped with 2 tablespoons of my Fall Spice Nut Butter
  2. Protein shake made with Vega Protein Powder, Strawberries, Arugula, and Almond Milk
  3. Pumpkin Pie Roll (recipe below)
  4. Random salad made with arugula, vegetarian breakfast patties, spicy/smoky mayo, & pickles
  5. Sweet Egg Whites
  6. Cocoa Nut Protein Pudding (not pictured)
  7. Crawfish Egg Salad (sooooo good, another amazing dinner from Kirk!)

 
Since we’re joining the WIAW party today, make sure you head over to Jenn’s place & see what other inspiring foods are shared today!
 
And now it’s time to share that recipe:

Pumpkin Pie Roll {WIAW}
Recipe Type: breakfast, snack, brunch
Cuisine: vegetarian
Author: Heather Blackmon
Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • 1/3 C egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon MCT Oil (optional: cooking spray if not used)
  • 1/8 tsp maple Extract
  • 1/8 tsp brandy extract (or another 1/8 tsp of maple extract)
  • 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 25 g Ezekiel 4:9 Cinnamon Raisin Bread [301189] (serving)
  • 10 g Pure Almond Milk Unsweetened
  • 15 g Protein Plus Peanut Flour
  • 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 tsp maple Extract
  • 2 drops liquid stevia (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a small glass bowl (I use prep bowls), pour in MCT oil and swirl to coat the sides (if not using MCT oil, spray with cooking spray). Tear bread into pieces (about 1 inch by 2 inches each) and add to bowl. In a separate small bowl, mix together egg whites through pumpkin pie spice. Pour over bread.
  3. Place on a baking sheet and into preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until top is browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool until only slightly warmed.
  4. While roll is cooling, mix together remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Slowly add a small amount of water and stir until the mix forms a thick frosting consistency. Spread over warm (not hot) roll and enjoy!
  5. *Note: you can make rolls & frosting ahead of time. When ready to eat, warm roll and then spread frosting over top.

Hi! I’m Heather, a yoga & wellness teacher based in Colorado... Read More…

Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine Which is more YOUR thing - camping near an alpine lake or shredding on a local trail? ⬇️

In both cases, we need to protect the land we enjoy on our adventures. And Leave No Trace is one program that helps with that - especially those that have a high rate of degradation through a program called Hot Spots. 

I'm excited to be partnering with @leavenotrace and @onxbackcountry to celebrate and preserve all these beautiful outdoor places. And for all of June, $10 of every onX Backcountry membership is being donated towards Leave No Trace’s Hot Spot program. A great way to get access to my favorite backcountry app AND support LNT! 

I added a link in my bio if you're interested in learning more, so you can help #ExploreandRestore!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?
