When it comes to Halloween, I am such a kid at heart!!! I may be 28, but I still get such a rush during the month of October - from decorating my house with goofy Halloween flare, picking out a costume for my little pug…oh and one for me too… and last but not least, indulging in one of my all time favorite foods – PUMPKIN!
Although pumpkin pie may be the first food that comes to mind, there are so many delicious and nutritious recipes you can make with pumpkin, and did you know pumpkin is a healthy food! Pumpkin itself is low in calories and fat, filled with great antioxidants like beta-carotene, and even contains a lot of other important nutrients such as iron, zinc, and fiber. Pumpkin seeds are really healthy too - high in essential amino acids and zinc.
For a guilt-free Halloween treat, try this yummy pumpkin pudding recipe below that is so easy you’ll be hooked this fall season for sure and perhaps year round!
Ingredients:
1 15-16 ounce canned pumpkin
2 cups of plain soy milk
1 box of instant (no cook) vanilla or french vanilla pudding, serving size 6
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
¼ teaspoon of ginger
Preparation:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, spices and half of the milk. While whisking, add the pudding mix and the rest of the milk. Whisk well to fully combine. The pudding will begin to thicken a little over time. Add more milk or spices for the consistency and flavor if you desire. This recipe makes 8 ½ cup servings.
Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
