Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Melissa with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week.
Pumpkins aren’t just for decorating, they’re a nutrient powerhouse! Packed with fiber, vitamin A, and antioxidants, pumpkin adds seasonal flavor and wellness benefits. Try these tasty ways to enjoy it:
- Stir pumpkin puree into oatmeal, muffin and pancake batter, and even chili
- Blend into smoothies with banana and a dash of pumpkin spice
- Use as a base for creamy pumpkin soup
- Roast pumpkin seeds for a crunchy snack rich in magnesium and zinc
Celebrate the season by making pumpkin part of your meals and snacks.
