Healthy No Bake Pumpkin Pie<\/h2>\n

Why ‘no bake’? Because the crust of the pie is made with raw almonds and dates, so it doesn’t need to be baked. This creates a simple and healthy pie that doesn’t require any rolling of dough. The pie itself doesn’t need to bake either, because we use pumpkin that was cooked ahead of time. Baking a pumpkin is easy. My pumpkin was around 4-5 lb, and I just cut it in half, removed the seeds with a spoon, and baked in a 400F oven for about 25-30 minutes.\u00a0Once it’s cooked and cooled, peel the skin off or just spoon the flesh out (it should come off easily). The skin will come off more easily while it’s still hot, so don’t wait too long. At this point, you can use in your recipes, or put in an airtight container, and store in the fridge for a few days.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Health Benefits<\/h2>\n

You could, of course, use canned pumpkin in a pinch, but it won’t taste as good and isn’t as nutritious due to the high temperatures required for canning. The heat destroys some of the nutrients, which would be unfortunate since pumpkin is not something we eat often and it has many health benefits. Pumpkins contain a lot of fibre, which we all need to eliminate toxins from our body and bring relief to our digestive system. It’s also packed with micro-nutrients such as vitamin A, which is absolutely essential to maintaining a good vision, and the antioxidant beta-carotene (that creates the orange colour) which can help in the prevention of certain cancers and has proven benefits to protect the skin against aging. We often don’t realize that pumpkins contain more potassium than a banana, an essential mineral for heart health and also helpful to recuperate after a hard workout because we lose a lot of potassium in our sweat. And finally, it’s a good source of vitamin C, essential for our body to perform many functions, and stimulate the immune system.<\/p>\n
