Did you know that pumpkin is for more than just pumpkin pie, and is also healthy for you? Rich in fibre, it can support a healthy digestive system, help balance your blood sugars, and even contribute to healthy weight maintenance. It is rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene to help fight cancer cells, treat and prevent eye disease, and support healthy, youthful skin. The vitamin C and vitamin A can also boost your immune power. It even has more potassium than a banana.

Pumpkin Nut Butter Recipe

I chose cashews and sunflower seeds here, but you can choose other nuts and seeds, if you like.

Ingredients

• 1 can of pureed pumpkin (make sure you choose a BPA-free can brand)
• 1 cup cashews
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1-2 Tbsp honey (to your taste)
• 1 /2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

1. I use a Vitamix, but you could use another high powered blender or food processor. Blend nuts into a powder. Then add other ingredients and mix until smooth.
