Look what you can do with Pumpkin

Also, note that you can alter the ingredients, depending on your diet’s needs… ½ cup of pumpkin only has 20 calories!!! And, as I’m sure you all know, a ½ cup of oatmeal only has 75 calories!
 pUMPkin Pie Passion 
Ingredients:
1 scoop Vanilla UMP
½ cup canned pumpkin
½ cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon of cinnamon spice
1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice
1 packet of Splenda (or Equal)
1 tablespoon of fat-free Cool Whip
Mix oats with water and put in microwave, just as you would make your oatmeal; stir in pumpkin and UMP, adding water to get a thick, smooth, creamy consistency. Add in cinnamon and pumpkin spices and Splenda flavor; top with a tablespoon of fat-free Cool Whip if you’d like! Enjoy!

   pUMPkin Smoothie   
1 ½ scoops of Vanilla UMP
1 teaspoon of cinnamon spice
1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice
1 packet of Splenda (or Equal)
4-6 ice cubes, cold water
Mix all the above ingredients together to create a smooth, creamy smoothie. I like to put mine in the freezer for a while to thicken it up.
 pUMPkin Pudding  
1 container of vanilla Fit n’ Lively yogurt (only 60 calories!)
½ cup canned pumpkin
½ scoop Vanilla UMP
(Optional: ¼ - ½ cup of Fiber One Cereal to make crunchy)

Mix all the above ingredients together to create a smooth, thick, and creamy pudding. (Add a little water to make it thinner, if you wish). Top with a tablespoon of fat-free Cool Whip, too, if you’d like!
