This week’s recipes include a common fall favorite, pumpkin! Pumpkin is great anytime of the year. In addition to the comfort flavor of fall, pumpkin provides many health benefits.

Like many orange fruits and vegetables, pumpkin provides a hefty dose of Vitamin A and other antioxidants to help support your immune system. It is essential for optimal health and your fitness goals because it also helps promote good vision and cell growth.
Pumpkin is also relatively low in calories and high in fiber. For about 100 grams, it provides about 250% of the recommended Vitamin A daily allowance, 4 grams of dietary fiber and no fat for only 25 calories!

Although this fruit may not be in season until the fall months it can be found almost anytime of year in a can. To keep these recipes healthy, try to find no-sugar added brands of canned pumpkin such as Libby’s® 100% pure pumpkin.

There are so many healthy, fun and creative ways to add pumpkin to your daily meals. These recipes are just a few creative ways you can do that. Try them and you won’t be disappointed!
