Although Thanksgiving has come and gone there is still a place for PUMPKIN PUREE in a variety of recipes. The bright orange flesh of a pumpkin is packed with fibre and essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, E, potassium and zinc, all aiding in digestions and a healthier a immune system. Pumpkin puree is easy to use in sweet or savory recipes but my favorite is to add it into my breakfast staple…the Protein Pancake. You must try my delicious Pumpkin Protein Pancake recipe. 🙂
