In an earlier post, I showed you how to make homemade pumpkin butter.
Now, what do you do with that delicious jar of pumpkin-y goodness?
Here are 4 very simple, but delicious ways to eat pumpkin butter:
1. Greek Yogurt with Pumpkin Butter
Greek yogurt is not only delicious, but a wonderful source of protein and Calcium! In fact, the Cabot lowfat plain Greek yogurt I buy has (in one cup) 150 calories, 22 grams of protein (the same amount as about 3 ounces of lean meat!), 40% of your daily calcium along with 25% of Vitamin A, D, C and E!
2. Waffle Topped with Pumpkin Butter and Yogurt
Pumpkin butter and yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt) can be a wonderful topping for waffles.
Be sure to choose a whole grain waffle for maximum nutrition! This would be a very good balanced, nutritious and delicious breakfast.
3. Cottage Cheese with Pumpkin Butter
Cottage cheese is another one of those great non-meat sources of protein!
Always choose either low fat or fat free versions. One 1/2-cup serving of low fat cottage cheese has only 90 calories and 13 grams of protein.
4. English Muffin Topped with Pumpkin Butter
Pumpkin butter is perfect on top of an english muffin or toast!
Again, choose a whole grain bread. My all-time favorite is Food For Life’s 7 Grain english muffin.
