Pumpkin Detox Shake

By Carolyn Burris of Forum Health Knoxville

Fall brings an abundance of gourds and flavorful crop. Pumpkin is one of the many colorful vegetables that is plentiful this time of year. Not only is pumpkin a good source of fiber, but the color is a great indication that it is rich in beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is an antioxidant that is converted to vitamin A in the body. This important vitamin has many functions including reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease.

 

The flesh is not the only part you can eat and receive health benefits. Don’t forget about the seeds. The many minerals in pumpkin seeds contain agents that fight against aging, osteoporosis and prostate cancer. This recipe has quickly become one of the favorites in my house! It is extremely filling and offers up lots of vitamins and minerals. Try it for breakfast!
