Comfort Food? Yes, Please!

Comfort Food? Yes, Please!

November 4, 2020 //  by tammy//  8 Comments

Who’s ready for comfort food?! Between cooling fall temperatures and election craziness, I think we could all use some…

Well, we’ve got another healthy seasonal recipe coming your way. Do you know how impressive pumpkin is? Pumpkin is low in calories and fat and packed with vitamins and minerals. Everyone thinks pumpkin means sweet once fall rolls around but did you know another impressive quality is pumpkin is its versatility? Our pumpkin soup with garlic pesto is a savory way of enjoying pumpkin this fall.

Antioxidants found in pumpkin can help lower risk of chronic disease. Pumpkin is also loaded with vitamins that boost your immune system. Vitamin A, C, B2 and E can all be found in pumpkin. All that nutrient density combined with low calorie count promotes weight loss!

We could go on and on about all the amazing things pumpkin brings to the table, both figuratively and literally, but we’ll top it off with how pumpkin promotes healthy skin. Carotenoids, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin E and many more antioxidants found in pumpkin help protect skin cells against damage from harmful UV rays.

Our pumpkin soup with garlic pesto is so delicious, but don’t take our word for it, try it for yourself! AND if you want more of these recipes, download our entire Thanksgiving recipe book that includes all your favorites, but with ‘cleaner’ ingredients.  I love that you don’t have to sacrifice taste for health!
