Ever since I found canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) at the commissary I've been obsessed with pumpkin! You can find the pumpkin puree in the baking aisle. Just be careful to pick up pumpkin puree and NOT the pie filling. Pumpkin is low calorie, fiber rich, and delicious in so many different imaginations. I shared a pumpkin smoothie recipe with my clients a few weeks ago and thought folks might like this too!
It's easy to make up a big batch, and put them in individual containers for a quick zap and then add toppings for a fulfilling quick morning meal. I usually hold the granola but love to use 100% natural maple syrup for that touch of sweetness!
Enjoy!
