Coming in at under 150 calories, this seasonal dessert definitely hits the spot. Pumpkin provides an oasis of health benefits – it is known to boost the immune system, protect skin through its carotenoids, and even reduce the risk of cancer by boosting the antioxidant beta-carotene. Add spices for a more festive flavor and additional benefits, including lower blood sugar levels from cinnamon and ginger's anti-inflammatory properties.
