Pumpkin Protein Power!

I love Pumpkin Pie
I discovered I love Pumpkin Smoothies too!
YOu can just tell by looking at the bright orange when you open that can that it is super good for you.
Not only is pumpkin loaded with vitamin A and antioxidant Beta carotene (anti inflammatory agent)
It is also a good source of vitamin C, K and E as well as loaded with minerals including magnesium potassium and iron.
This drink will actually help you build muscle, strengthen your immune system (shielding you from cancer causing agents), slow the aging process, improve bone density and much much more!
