Is Pumpkin Healthy?
The health benefits of pumpkins may just surprise you. Not only can pumpkins be used for cute fall décor, you can eat them! Surprising right (insert a wee bit of a sarcastic tone here)?
Pumpkins are packed with nutrients. They are easily stored in the winter and can be enjoyed in many savory and sweet recipes. Vitamin A shines through at over 200% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin A. It is lower in calories and consists of an impressive 94% of water.
Vitamin A, lutein, and zeaxanthin (don't ever ask me to pronounce those!) may even help fight chronic eye disease.
The pumpkin pie fluff we are about to enjoy was originally made with a fresh pumpkin that was baked in my oven, mashed, and then stored in the refrigerator. Canned pumpkin puree with no sugar added can also be used. Just be sure not to mix the pumpkin puree cans with the pumpkin pie filling cans. There is a massive difference!
The best way to get pumpkin into your diet is to eat it fresh, if you enjoy pumpkin pie lattes this time of the year, grab this delicious pumpkin spice latte that uses real pumpkin puree!
Is Pumpkin Keto Friendly?
Absolutely and positively pumpkin can be enjoyed on both keto and the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle. This is a keto pumpkin fluff that can be enjoyed freely on the keto lifestyle.
Pumpkin belongs to the family of winter squashes called Cucurbitaceae and because of that does have some carbohydrates in it. But please understand that these are healthy carbs! These are the carbs that you want in your body. Healthy carbs will help you flourish and heal.
Is Pumpkin a Low-Carb Food?
One-half cup of pumpkin puree will contain just about 10 grams of carbohydrates. For those on the Trim Healthy Mama plan, this is well inside the limits for a healthy E meal, and it will about cap what you can enjoy with an S meal.
For those that follow the keto lifestyle, the recommended amount of carbs per day varies from about 50 to 100 grams. This is well within the limits to enjoy.

Pumpkin can be enjoyed in savory dishes quite nicely, but most often gets used in sweet desserts. Unhealthy sugars ruin the health benefits of pumpkins. This pumpkin pie fluff is going to take the unhealthy sugar versions of pumpkin sweets, and make you never want to let those unholy mixtures touch your lips again!
Pumpkin can actually boost your immune system with its packed nutrients, but large amounts of sugar can shut off your immune system for about a half-hour!
