    Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

    HIII!! It’s been a while.. I’ve seriously missed you guys!

    I’m finally all moved and settled into my new apartment – thanks to my parents and brother who helped me move the bigger things in AND went up 4 flights of stairs like a million times  🙂 they’re amazing and I could not have done it without them. 

    I really love it here so far and am beyond excited for this next chapter. I honestly can’t believe I’m here… and this apartment is actually mine for the next year… so surreal… but so amazing how things fall into place, right?! Taz is loving it as well, aside from the loud city noises (he’s a total scaredy cat) but I know he’ll be a city dog in no time.

    Do you guys want to see pictures of my little studio?! I’d be happy to do a post about it!

    Anywaysss, I have a super yummy and festive fall oatmeal recipe for you.. Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal. It’s luscious and healthy with ALL the good things. Perfect for a cold morning to warm you up alongside some hot pumpkin coffee (like this one that I’m obsessed with) and a cozy blanket. Sounds dreamy right?! It so is.

    Healthy vegan 'Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal'. Warming, comforting and lusciously creamy, this bowl of pumpkin goodness will get you feeling good and keep you full until lunch. From The Glowing Fridge.

    Pumpkin season is in full swing, although I have yet to get a PSL (a pumpkin spice latt? for anyone living under a rock) and I’m loving all the fall things. Roll your eyes all you want… I know you secretly love it too 😉 so this morning I made my watermelon cayenne detox juice and was literally frozen afterward which gave me the idea to create this comforting oatmeal to warm me up.

    It did just the trick. 

    In the summertime, I do lots of smoothies, juices and fruit for breakfast but once it starts getting chilly, I find myself switching to a warm bowl of oatmeal. Do you do that too? I feel like it’s a common switch. Starting your morning with nourishing oats is amazing for sustained energy and keeping you full until lunch. They’re packed with fiber and are quite possibly the best whole grain around! Low in fat and full of protein (6g per every 1/2 cup) you can’t go wrong with oats.

    I buy the bag of gluten free rolled oats from Trader Joe’s (so cheap!) and it lasts me quite a while. 

    For this bowl of pumpkin goodness you will need:

    • gluten free oats
    • canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
    • mashed banana
    • chia seeds (optional)
    • pumpkin pie spice
    • cinnamon
    • maple syrup 
    • vegan chocolate chips (optional) but duh, why not?!

    Buy them here: vegan chocolate chips and crushed pumpkin seeds too, as a yummy topping 🙂

    Mash the banana and mix in the pumpkin pur?e.

    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    • 1/2 banana, mashed
    • 1/4 cup organic pumpkin purée
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or coconut sugar/agave)
    • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • pinch of sea salt
    • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
    • additional 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    • vegan chocolate chips (optional)
    • pumpkin seeds (optional)

    Instructions

    1. In a small pot, stir the oats, water and almond milk together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until creamy.
    2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mash the banana and stir in the pumpkin purée and maple syrup along with the pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and sea salt.
    3. Turn off heat and stir the pumpkin mixture into the oats with the optional chia seeds. Mix until well combined.
    4. I like to add extra almond milk at the end as well as it can get dry.
    5. Enjoy!!

      Thanks so much for sharing this recipe – we absolutely loved it! I didn’t even add the maple syrup, topped it with chopped dates instead, and added some coconut. I’m obsessed with pumpkin, so this is for sure a new favorite!

      Amazing recipe! Added cacao nibs and coconut shreds on top of mine and it was absolutely delicious. Serving size will last me a few breakfasts because it is so filling! Thanks for sharing.

      Hi Shannon, I just stumbled across your blog. I really love all of the healthy recipes but I’m wondering about calorie counts. Do you ever post them?

      I plugged this recipe in to myfitnesspal.com and before adding the syrup, chocolate chips and pumpkin seeds this recipe is already 470 calories with 106 g of carbohydrates, 8 g of fat, 10 g of protein and 23 g of sugar. Any recommendations or advice for keeping this a little healthier for someone who’s trying to loose some weight before summer kicks off?

        Hey Brittany! Honestly I never count calories or keep track of amounts, I’m just mindful and use my best judgement. I love this recipe because it’s so nourishing and everything is a whole food (minus the tiny amount chocolate chips) so instead of focusing on calories, I like to focus on ingredients. If you still want to cut back, you could omit the chocolate chips, pumpkin seeds and almond milk (use water instead) and omit or cut back on the maple syrup and use stevia instead. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

        xo,
        Shannon

        I imported this into myfitnesspal.com as it was 193 calories 35g of carbs, 5g of protein, 4g of fat and 11g of sugar. I did change it to 2 servings and omitted the chocolate chips and pumpkin seeds. I sprinkled a few chocolate chips on top in full disclosure :P.

      So I made this the other day and loved it! Super delish (especially when topped with a few chocolate chips)! I curled up on the couch with my bowl and enjoyed every bite.

    now that I’m studying to become a integrative he now that I’m studying to become a integrative health practitioner, I’ve realized to a greater extent how one way of eating may not be perfect for everyone. how being strictly #plantbased isn’t a top priority for everyone. how different we really are. I’ve recently come to accept this, even though I will promote plant based until the day I die. my feelings have evolved over time. I used to be more pushy and believe my way of eating was the only way! but the reality is, there is no one diet and it’s infuriating when doctors push one diet only! its what works for YOUR body and it can change over time (depending on many factors). while this may upset some people, this will be apart of my job. as a practitioner I will have to meet people where they are at and guide them with an open mind. I can’t assume or expect that everyone will want to be plant based tomorrow! while I can always promote “the more plant foods the better” type of mentality (and I promise you, I will!) there is something called bio-individuality, meaning “there is not a one-size-fits-all diet, each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements”. what I will also promote is intuitive eating and really tuning into what your body wants and needs, and allowing that intuition to sharpen and grow (and hopefully it leads to more plants 🌱😬). doing this takes so much practice… to trust what your body is telling you is hard and confusing in the beginning. I think the change for me was allowing what I wanted to eat at first and it slowly evolved to wanting to choose healthier options because I felt better that way, but also knowing when I need vegan mac and cheese or french fries or ice cream and not making a big deal out of it. and not labeling any food as “bad” but rather just “food”. this didn’t happen overnight though! tell me below - how have you become more intuitive with eating habits? how do you tune in? photo by @sarahiltonphotography & I put a little filter on it 💗 #intuitiveeating
    DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total c DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total crap, it’s essential to open up your drainage pathways first. although not glamorous to talk about, this is the most important step for any health protocol. setting the foundation… just like building a house. there are no quick fixes in detoxing! for example: you don’t want to jump into a parasite cleanse but have your detox pathways blocked… this includes making sure you are peeing, pooping, sweating and moving your lymph every single day. and when I say pooping, I mean 1-3 times per day. ideally 2-3 or after large meals. if you are constipated while killing off parasites, you are not going to feel good at all because they need to be eliminated quickly and if not, the pathogens/toxins they release can get re-circulated in the body. take it from me because I didn’t know about any of this while doing a parasite cleanse… I was bed ridden, had fevers, my face broke out, I was puffy and bloated. this was not fun at all! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
>> So how do you open up your drainage pathways (and keep them open)? ⁣⠀
• proper hydration, ideally with mineral drops⁣⠀
• daily movement to break a sweat (I love using my @higherdose sauna blanket in addition to movement)⁣⠀
• balanced whole food diet: lots of veggies and fruit, fiber from real food, nothing processed, no refined sugar⁣⠀
• bowel moving herbs if you are consipated (bowel mover from Microbe Formulas), coffee enemas, tudca (to keep bile moving, liver support) and include a binder if you use any of these (I like bioactive carbon binders from Microbe Formulas)⁣⠀
- clean products: beauty, skincare, cleaning, etc⁣⠀
- air quality: open the windows, get a @airdoctorpro air filter, plants⁣⠀
- proper sleep: 7-8 hours⁣⠀
- healthy mind: mediation, yoga, breath work⠀
⠀
