We bring to you our Pumped-Up Pumpkin Parfait created by our one and only Chef Justin Kouri. This Pumpkin Parfait is packed with vitamin A, fiber, vitamin C and will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
Two of the main ingredients in this Pumped-Up Parfait are pumpkin puree and oats. Now, here is the run down on why these two delicious ingredients are also nutritious too . Did you know that mashed pumpkin is packed with Vitamin A, a nutrient that helps you see in dim lighting, according to the National Institute of Health and also contains 3 grams of fiber per 1 cup serving and only 49 calories. In addition it is full of that vitamin we all love, vitamin C! In one cup of cooked pumpkin, you can find almost 20% of the daily intake of vitamin C for the average woman.
What about the oats, you say?! Oats are low in fat, high and protein and are a great way to combat heart disease and diabetes. They will keep you full and give you the energy you need to celebrate National Oat Day in style!
