It’s finally fall! The leaves are changing colors, you get to swap out your entire wardrobe, and it’s finally acceptable to put pumpkin spice and cinnamon into everything!
The tricky part of fall? It’s really easy to develop a sweet tooth.
While the major fall holidays may have others gorging on an overabundance of candy and pie, you still have to stay true to your goals.
That definitely doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the fun tastes that fall has to offer. Honestly, that would be boring.
It simply means planning out meals and treats where you can have the best of both worlds – sweet and healthy!
Check out a few FitMiss recipes to add to your food prep routine and keep things interesting this fall.
Pumpkin Spice Delight Shake
It's the time of year where pumpkin everything is hard to ignore. From grocery stores to coffee shops, pumpkin is literally in everything. And for good reason, it’s absolutely delicious.

FitMiss Delight Protein Pudding
Pudding pie is always around my house come November. I take the first few relatives arriving for Thanksgiving as an omen that pudding pie is almost near.
