It’s time for pumpkins, and all the health benefits that come along with them this time of year! A few tablespoons whisked into hot chocolate supply our eyes with rejuvenating Vitamin A, our post-workout bodies with Potassium, our immune systems with Vitamin C, and extra fiber keeps our weight in check. It’s hard to believe all of these benefits come from a delicious warm drink that tastes like pumpkin pie!
