I'm sure many people already know that November and December are a great time to grab a cheap frozen turkey. It's great animal protein that's great for GAINZ in the physical and financial sense. But when you pick up your turkey, check that produce section. According to a sign I saw next to the pumpkin puree, there's some kind of pumpkin shortage, but my store still had cheap fresh pumpkins in the produce section, well under a dollar a pound.
Besides providing a delicious pie filling, pumpkins also pack lutein, beta carotene, zinc in the seeds, and enough fiber to stimulate a pleasant session on the toilet.
Of course most pumpkins are too big to eat at once, so they need to be broken down to a form that can be used for multiple preparations. First, cut the pumpkin into eight wedges, which are then placed in a cake pan or casserole dish with about an inch of water. Stick that in a 350 degree oven for thirty minutes, or until the pumpkin is thoroughly cooked.

Much like tofu, pumpkin is also an unlikely excellent smoothie main ingredient. Here's how I drink my pumpkin. It's like a blender full of wet pumpkin pie that you won't need to burn off during cardio.
1 serving of vanilla protein powder
5 large ice cubes
1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie seasoning
Sweetener to taste (I like sucralose or agave syrup)
Cold water
I just throw it all in the blender and turn it on. I don't like runny smoothies, so I add just enough water for my blender to render a homogeneous and thick liquid. Quite honestly, it looks like baby food, so no picture.
November and December are a great opportunity to pick up some GAINZ-friendly foods at a great price. Best of all, they'll help you free up some extra cash.

ReplyDeleteHey AC, just got word from P. GAINZ that there is supposed to be a cup of chopped pumpkin in the smoothie. Try it on for size and let us know how much GAINZ it is.
