If there is one word that has become synonymous with fall, it’s pumpkin. As the leaves and temperatures start to fall, we add it to our drinks, our soups, our desserts — we just can’t get enough!
Pumpkin is low in calories, high in fiber, and helps lower cholesterol and manage weight. It’s a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, B vitamins, zinc, beta carotene, and potassium.
Even better, it can be incorporated into dishes both savory and sweet. From smoothies to soups, this vitamin-packed powerhouse can be a tasty addition to nearly anything.
This season, find all the delicious ways you can use pumpkin in your life – anywhere from cooking to a pumped-up workout:
