Recipe- Pumpkin -Yogurt Breakfast Pudding
Lots of great recipes... saw this one online the other day along with some nutritional info about pumpkin... haven't tried it but looks good... thought I'd pass it along:
Pumpkin, a type of winter squash, is naturally fat free, and provides only 30 calories per one cup serving. Pumpkin is also a good source of fiber, beta carotene, potassium, and two antioxidants called lutein and beta-cryptoxanthin. Lutein helps reduce the risk of macular degeneration and beta-cryptoxanthin helps fight arthritis.
1. Pumpkin flesh tends to be sweet, making it a terrific ingredient for pies, soups, puddings, and breads. For a yummy pumpkin breakfast pudding, try my simple recipe listed below.
Pumpkin-Yogurt Breakfast Pudding:
½ cup 100% canned pure pumpkin
1 cup (8 ounce container) vanilla, nonfat yogurt
