Pumpkin Yogurt Snacks!

I love the fall, especially the fall foods and flavors. Pumpkin is one of my favorites. Not only is pumpkin tasty, its actually really good for you too! It's incredibly rich in vital anti-oxidants and vitamins. It is very low in calories yet good source of vitamin A, flavonoid poly-phenolic antioxidants like leutin, xanthins and carotenes.

We all are familiar with the delicious fall pumpkin treats... pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread etc.... but what about something you feel good giving your kids (and yourself) as a healthy snack?.... try some pumpkin yogurt!

Pumpkin Yogurt Snacks

Pumpkin Puree (either from a can- or make yourself by baking a pumpkin until soft and pureeing the flesh)
Low fat or nonfat organic yogurt
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Honey- (I like raw and local)

Mix equal parts pumpkin and yogurt. Add in pumpkin pie spice and honey to taste. You can also top with granola or pecans for crunch!

Delicious!
