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.
