Not only are pumpkins festive and fun, they also provide some powerful healthy perks, such as keeping your heart healthy, waistline and vision in check, as well as being high in vitamin A, fiber, potassium and cancer-fighting antioxidants!
I love fall's 'signature squash' in all forms; breads, cookies, clafoutis, and now smoothies. It's a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy some heart-healthy pumpkin during the fall months, or at any time of the year!
