We all know what it is. That post-Thanksgiving “oh my, I probably should not have eaten so much, I just won’t eat today” feeling. Bad idea. Never detox from overeating by fasting, just eat light–salad, fruit, lean proteins.
Here is a great low-calorie recipe that goes well with sliced apples–it is by no means my recipe as you can find it all over the internet, but I’ll share it anyway with that caveat. I have improved upon the original just a bit for the holiday season–enjoy!
Pumpkin Fluff
Ingredients
1 container Cool Whip Free, defrosted
1 (12-14 oz) can plain pumpkin
1 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 package fat free, sugar free pudding mix (I like butterscotch or vanilla)
Directions:
- Mix Cool Whip, pumpkin and spices until combined.
- Add pudding mix and stir until smooth.
Note: I put the pudding mix in last or else sometimes it sets and clumps.
The cost:
cool whip: 1.00 (on sale)
pumpkin: 1.29
pudding: 1.00
Grand total: 3.29; serve with sliced apples, pita chips, pretzels or other snack items
