“It was time to take the pumpkin out of the pot and eat it. In the final analysis, that was what solved these big problems of life. You could think and think and get nowhere, but you still had to eat your pumpkin. That brought you down to earth. That gave you a reason for going on. Pumpkin.”― Alexander McCall Smith, The No. 1 Ladies Detective
Full of fiber, beta-carotene, Vitamin C and with more potassium than bananas, pumpkins are a great food to include in your diet to keep you going through the winter. Add puree to your oatmeal, try it in a smoothie, or roast it.
Try this Pumpkin Shake: Blend 1 banana, 1/2 c. apple sauce, 1/2 c. almond milk, 1 c. pumpkin puree, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 2 c. ice and honey to taste. Top with a little granola and enjoy!
