Re: Colon cleansers/detox's, induction friendly?
Here's the MUP recipe:
MUP is a name that one of the members gave to a recipe I came up with... it stands for Mitzi's Ultimate Pumpkin. I have even been dubbed the "Pumpkin Patch Princess" by another member (and she gave me a really cool graphic saying that, for my siggie).
About the pumpkin - I use Libby's canned pumpkin that is probably located next to the baking items in the grocery store. Make sure to read the label carefully so that you pick up the 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which is also made by Libby's and looks a lot like the pie filling, which has sugar in it. Here is the recipe for what I eat:
In a bowl, I mix 1/2 of a can of pumpkin (which is .88 cups) with 2 ounces of cream cheese. I put this in the microwave for 1 minute, then take it out and stir well. I then add a few drops of liquid Splenda (just use sweetener of your choice), 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, .5 teaspoon of allspice, .5 tsp. of nutmeg, and stir. Once I passed rung 3 in OWL (seeds/nuts), I started adding 1 ounce of almonds, which is about 22 nuts that I cut in half (so I can have 44 nuts
). I then put it back in the microwave for about 40 seconds, stir, and it is done. I find that the warmer it is, the better it tastes (although I have had one member tell me that they like it better cold). Beware, though! This concoction contains 15 net carbs. So anyone who doesn't want to use up that many carbs can leave out the nuts and/or cut back on portion sizes of the ingredients. I ate it for a long time without the nuts, and it is good that way, as well. It does have a high fat percentage because of the 2 ounces of cream cheese, but I don't stress over that. Lots of people get by with only 1 ounce of cream cheese, but I like how creamy it is with the 2 ounces. This makes a pretty big bowl, too, so you may not need to make this much. My husband always talked about how good it smells when I make it, so I made it for him one day. He couldn't finish it all because it is kinda rich. Cutting this in half would have been enough for him. I always finish mine, though.
