Praise the gourds, it’s pumpkin spice season! We love delicious pumpkin drinks, treats, and seasonal foods, but the calories and sugar can definitely add up and leave us feeling sluggish and off track. In this episode, TMN Coach Hannah Abdulla, RD, joins us to review our favorite Trader Joe’s fall items and share how we balance yummy fall items with great nutrition so we can still hit our health goals. Whatever your goal weight is, our 3-month Lifestyle Reset Program can help you build the habits to reach it! Click here to learn more about this 1:1 program with one of our registered dietitians. Our fave Trader Joe’s Fall Products: Pumpkin Spice Coffee Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Autumn Harvest Creamy Pasta Sauce Pumpkin O’s Cereal Pumpkin Pancake & Waffle Mix Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookie Mix Some key takeaways from this episode include: Have fun with turning your staple ingredients into fall recipes! Use ground turkey or ground beef in a hearty chili (which is a protein- and veggie-packed dish!), or shape them into burgers for the grill since it’s still pretty hot outside! For the more carb-heavy fall items like pumpkin spice cereal, pancakes, or muffins, pair them with a serving of protein and a piece of fruit for a balanced meal that will keep you full while enjoying your favorite treats! You don’t need to avoid sweet fall treats altogether. Instead, focus on managing your portions and serving sizes, pairing it with protein or fresh produce, and buying baking mixes instead of ready-made treats so it’s harder to eat a lot at once.   Hi!
