So how can you enjoy the taste and benefits of pumpkin without eating pie every day? View our suggestions below!
Roasted
Roasting veggies are a great way to bring out flavour and play with spices without losing nutrition. Try slicing and cubing pumpkin into chunks before seasoning it with whatever you’d like. Some options include garlic, rosemary, and even cinnamon. Then pop in the oven and roast until crisp. Or, roast the pumpkin seeds!
Oil
Pumpkin seed oil is derived from the squash’s seeds and makes a great autumn alternative to your regular oils and dressings. Add it to salads, soups, pasta dishes, and more. Its rich, nutty flavour embodies fall while supporting better health and wellness.
In a Smoothie
Sticking this gourd in a fall-inspired smoothie is a great way to curb your sweet tooth without comprising your health and wellness goals. Simply place some all-natural pumpkin puree into a blender with some bananas, almond milk, cinnamon, and whatever else you like and blend it up! It’ll be like pumpkin pie in a glass, but so much healthier.
