FollowIt’s fall. You know what that means? Pumpkin-flavored everything! If you’re carving off fat or just trying to stay lean, a pumpkin-spice latté probably isn’t on your diet plan. Don’t be scared: You can still add that great fall flavor in your healthy, clean food choices. It just takes a little jack-o’-lantern magic.
Not only does pumpkin go perfectly with crisp air and crunchy leaves, it’s also very nutritious. One hundred grams of pumpkin only yields about 25 calories and 7 grams of carbs. It’s also a great source of vitamin A. There are no tricks with this veggie treat. These recipes will satisfy your pumpkin fetish and help you maintain that summer six-pack.
