Fall is known as “Pumpkinpalooza” at Trader Joe’s because of all their fun & delicious pumpkin products.
And we’re all for it! Pumpkin is packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, iron & fiber. BUT, many of the pumpkin-flavored products are also packed with sugar, sodium, or saturated fat.
That’s why our very favorite fall product is their canned Organic Pumpkin. It’s 100% pumpkin purée, with no added sugar or additives.
It has a rich, velvety texture & is very versatile. We love it in oatmeal, shakes, soups, dips, muffins, and even pancakes!
Here are some quick & easy ways to use it:
- Want a lighter version of a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino? Try our Pumpkin Spice Smoothie.
- For a delicious fall breakfast, try our Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal.
- And for a "pumpkinlicious" morning or afternoon snack, try one of the recipes below!
