3 Healthy Pumpkin Snacks for Fall (Savor the Season with Nutrient-Packed Treats)

Fall is synonymous with pumpkins, and while you might associate this seasonal favorite with festive décor and sugary desserts, pumpkin is actually a powerhouse of nutrition. In this blog, we'll explore three healthy and delicious pumpkin-based snacks that you can enjoy throughout the season. Whether you're munching on roasted pumpkin seeds, indulging in a pumpkin puree treat, or sprinkling pumpkin spice on your favorite foods, these snacks offer a taste of fall with a healthy twist.

Is Pumpkin Healthy?

Pumpkin is not just for pies and lattes—it's a superfood that packs a nutritional punch. Pumpkins are a great low-calorie source of fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. There are so many ways to enjoy the pumpkin-spiced flavors of the season while maintaining optimal digestion, energy, and that healthy feeling.

The Best Healthy Pumpkin Snacks for Fall

With pumpkin's health benefits in mind, let's explore three simple and nutritious snacks using pumpkin seeds, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are high in immunity-boosting zinc, making them the perfect snack when the temperature shifts.

Coat pumpkin seeds in coconut oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and roast on a low heat until dry. Keep these in your purse or desk drawer for easy-access during your 7-Day Program.

Raw pumpkin seeds can also be soaked overnight and then blended with fresh water to create pumpkin seed milk to add tot a protein shake. This nut milk tastes slightly more bitter than almond milk and blends well with matcha (green tea) powder and monk fruit for a healthy pumpkin caffeine boost.

Pumpkin Meat/Puree

Canned unsweetened pumpkin purée is a great substitute for bananas to thicken a pumpkin spice smoothie while you are on a special diet or cleanse. Check the ingredients and make sure you are using 100% pumpkin.

Cut a whole pumpkin into squares or slices and lightly steam or roast at 400 degrees. Incorporate this nutrient-dense squash into your daily meals or as a side dish at a dinner party. Top with a sesame dressing to compliment this earthy vegetable’s flavor.

Pumpkin Spice

The Starbucks spice mix includes cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove. These warming spices are easy to find and add to a protein shake. Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar and cravings throughout the day, ginger and nutmeg can aid in digestion, and clove has anti-parasitic properties that can be beneficial whether you’re on a cleanse or just want to keep your immune system robust.

Take the Next Step Toward a Healthier You

These three healthy pumpkin snacks are a great way to enjoy the flavors of fall while nourishing your body. But why stop there? To give your health a refresh, consider taking part in the Clean 7 Detox Cleanse. This comprehensive cleanse is designed to reset your system and boost your energy, leaving you feeling vibrant and renewed.
