WIAW: Pumpkin Orange

It's that time of the week again- time to share all of the goodies I've been eating and lately it's been everything pumpkin and everything orange! Thanks to the lovely Jenn over at Peas and Crayons for hosting this little feast, go check out her blog and see what others are eating lately!

Well after making this weekend purchase at Trader Joes...
And this purchase at Target (buy 3 get a free $5 gift card that I couldn't resist)...
I have been eating even more pumpkin flavored delectables than before! For breakfast I had my pumpkin egg white oatmeal which I also ate everyday last week, but now I have pumpkin pie spice to add to it!
 
Pumpkin Egg White Oatmeal

1/3 c oats
1 T ground flax seed
1/4 t pumpkin pie spice
unsweetened vanilla almond milk
liquid egg whites

Sorry I just "eyeball" the almond milk and egg whites, then I microwave it for 1:30 minutes.

Stir in:
1 T chia seeds
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
cinnamon to taste (optional)
pumpkin
more almond milk
100% all natural maple syrup (or other sweetener of choice)

Again, I just throw everything in until it looks and tastes good. I don't have time to measure things in the morning!

Along with my pumpkin oatmeal, I have also been drinking my Dunkin' Donuts pumpkin spice coffee. All I add is a little splash of milk and it tastes like heaven. Very similar to a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte just not as sweet!
My lunch was honestly not even planned to be THIS orange!
Oranges
TJs pumpkin greek yogurt (ahhhmazing)
String cheese
Carrots
After I had all of those things set out for lunch, I decided it was only appropriate to try out my TJs pumpkin cream cheese, so I spread it on some whole wheat bread to make myself a sandwich. Yes, yet another pumpkin flavored food added to my diet.

I had supper at my parents house which I didn't take a picture of, it was just good ol' spaghetti so you can make your own mental picture (plus it wasn't orange!) and then for an evening snack I decided to round out my pumpkin orange day with my TJs pumpkin butter on a rice cake.
I think my skin is turning orange.

What pumpkin flavored foods have you been enjoying this season?

  1. Haha! Love all the pumpkin! I can never get enough...actually, I'm surprised I haven't started to turn orange yet, myself! ;) I've been adding pumpkin puree to just about everything lately...yogurt, oats, pancakes, straight from the can...yeah, I have problems! Lol

    How's the yogurt from Trader Joe's? I've seen it around blogworld, but haven't made a trip to my store (which is sadly an hour away from my house) to see if they have it.

    1. I'm glad we've both been enjoying all of the pumpkin we can, tis' the season ; )

      The yogurt from TJs is pretty good, very flavorful! My closest Trader Joes is about 30-45 minutes away so I feel your pain!
