Hi everyone! Fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons. So I went to Trader Joes after work, and since it's fall season.. Trader Joes had loads & loads of raw pumpkins!! I bought one small - sort of medium sized one lol. I wanted to see what I can do with it as far as pumpkin recipes.

Does anyone have any great - healthy recipes using raw pumpkin? Perhaps any smoothies? :)

    there was just a post about a chocolate pumpkin smoothie....http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/351136-chocolate-pumpkin-smoothie?hl=chocolate+pumpkin#posts-4747228.

    Pretty sure you can use raw pumpkin the same as canned in any recipe. Just bake it until tender and scoop out the insides.

    cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, put it upside down in about an inch of water and bake it til it feels soft. Cool, scoop it out and pureed it. Freezes really well.

    I have been stirring it in greek yogurt with cinnamon and vanilla and stevia. Alsobeen putting it in vanilla protein shakes with cinnamon... so yummy!

    Google Jamie easton's pumpkin spice pancakes. She has a video...I made them and had them with spray butter and sugar free syrup :flowerforyou:
