Pucker Up Pumpkin Lips
Thanks for all the great comments of what to do with the Falafel Sunshine burgers on the post before last. I can’t wait to make my own sauce and serve it up in a pita, true falafel style.
In other news, Casa EBF (EatingBirdFood) is still serving up smoothies for breakfast.
Proud to be keeping my title as smoothie queen – 3 days in a row, which the same delish combo. (a little rhyming action going on).
The latest and greatest smoothie addiction:
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3 pieces of ice
= one tasty purple smoothie (approx. 340 calories, 8g fat, 22g of protein, , 54g of carbs, 13g of fiber, 166mg sodium, 28 grams of sugar)
With my smoothie I’ve been toasting up a piece of ezekiel sprouted grain bread and spreading on a little crofter’s super fruit. This was the Asia variety with YUMBERRIES.
YUM!
Yesterday I had quite the hankering for Pumpkin Pie in a Bowl. I used Gena’s recipe as a guide this time, although I still didn’t have a butternut squash on hand so I stuck with raw sweet potato.
It was heavenly per the usual. Did I mention that I am in love with this soup? The best part is that I didn’t have any tummy issues.
So you know the whole “glow” that you are suppose to get from raw foods- well I don’t know if this counts, but check out the glow around my lips after eating the pumpkin pie in a bowl.
I have a small case of pumpkin lips. Carrot juice stains and the pigment does not come off easily- that’s for sure. The first time the pumpkin lips occured was after I had drank some plain carrot juice, Isaac came home and the first words out of his mouth were, “What’s wrong with your lips?”
For this reason, I usually I try to have the pumpkin soup on nights that I don’t plan on going out after dinner. Wouldn’t want any concerned citizen to think pumpkin lips were contagious.
Pucker up! I wonder if I can convince Isaac that pumpkin lips are sexy.
.
Other random eats I have been munching on lately include. Tuna salad with red onion on a bed of romaine with avocado and sliced zucchini.
Some Golden Inca Berries
Carrots and almond butter
And, massaged kale salad minus the oil, with a ton of nutritional yeast.
That’s all folks. It’s Friday and I’m happy for that, however I’ve got a lot of work on my plate this weekend. Anyone else have any big plans?
Your purple people eater smoothie and toast look delicious!! LOVE the orange lips! It’s like the Got Milk mustache except Got Carrots?!
Good luck with all your work this weekend

how were the inca berries?
[Reply]
Hey gc- the inca berries are good. They are quite sour though so it’s unlike raisins I can’t really eat one right after another. I wrote a post about them here.

I totally didn’t see the orange glow until you puckered up
I get carrot stain on my hands when I cut up carrots, and it lasts all day as well.

I love that cottage cheese. Don’t forget to stir. Most of the flavor is usually in the bottom! Love your blog!
[Reply]
You look so lovely! Especially on the second pic, so cute

I think the color looks great on your lips! Very fashionable. I have tried this soup as well, and for someone with a very sensitive stomach, it gave me no problems at all!
