Ingredient Selection Tips

Pumpkin Puree


If you are buying canned pumpkin puree, make sure that they don’t include any preservatives, sugar, or filler on the ingredient list. You can also make the puree yourself using this recipe linked here.

Pumpkin Pie Spice

You can find these kinds of spice mixtures in your local store, or online. You can also mix them yourself. All you need is cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and if you like ginger and allspice, you can add these in too.

Old-Fashioned Oats

Always check the ingredient list, to ensure the only ingredient is whole-grain organic oats. Many oats contain additional sugar, flavors, and preservatives that we don’t need.

Oats

Oats are one of the healthiest grains. They are gluten-free; and are a substantial source of fiber and carbs, and they contain more protein and fat than most grains. Oats are also rich in many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Here are some health benefits of having them in our regular diet:

  • They can lower cholesterol levels
  • They can improve blood sugar control
  • Oats are filling, which can help with weight loss
  • May help with skincare
  • They are good for colon health

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are rich in nutrients. They are full of fiber, iron, and calcium, rich in antioxidants, and a substantial source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Chia eggs mixed with water create a gel-like consistency which is called a “chia egg” and is a great replacement for cooking and baking eggs. This is a good option for a vegan diet, and they also contain some protein.

Health benefits:

  • Chia seeds may help to lose weight because of the fiber and protein
  • May lower risk of heart disease
  • They are good for bone health
  • May reduce blood sugar levels
  • May lower blood pressure
  • They can promote regularity for a healthy digestive tract
