Fun & Healthy Pumpkin Recipes

Turns out that Pumpkins are not just a Halloween decoration – they boast lots of nutritional benefits!

They’re packed with fibre, which will keep you fuller for longer, and Vitamin A to keep you eyesight in top condition.
They’re also a good source of protein, magnesium, copper, zinc as well as the amino acid tryptophan, which can improve mood and help you sleep better.

So we’ve come up with 2 really easy pumpkin recipes for you to try this halloween weekend!

Recipe 1: Pumpkin Soup with Healthy Croutons

  • 1 x Garlic Clove

  • 1 pint Chicken/Veg Stock
  • 1 pint Water

Method:

  1. Make some Pumpkin Puree (see instructions at bottom of post)
  2. Lightly sauté onion & garlic in a deep pan.
