Now that cooler weather is here, we can enjoy pumpkin flavored everything, right? Today I have 2 healthy Fall Pumpkin Drink Recipes to enjoy on Weight Watchers.
First up is a hot drink – Hot Pumpkin Spice Latte – that I think rivals Starbucks. The other pumpkin recipe is a deliciously thick and healthy Pumpkin Pie Maple Smoothie.
I love everything pumpkin. From Pumpkin Pie to my Pumpkin Crab Soup to Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pie Apple Butter slathered on thick sliced Healthy Zucchini Bread. But did you know all the nutritional benefits that pumpkin provides? Here are just a few:
- Pumpkin is full of antioxidants that fight cancer and destroy harmful bacteria;
- packed full of vitamins that help your immunity;
- great for your eyesight;
- nutrient dense which actually promotes weight loss – just to name a few.
