What I actually make with a tin of pumpkin purée 🎃


all my favorites | recipes | videos

Hi Reader,

If you haven't bought a tin of pumpkin purée yet this autumn, consider this your sign. 🎃

I know pumpkin can feel like an ingredient you buy for one recipe and then forget about, but there's plenty you can do with the rest. Stir a spoonful into porridge with cinnamon, add it to pancake batter, or mix it into yogurt with a little maple syrup. Just look for plain pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, which already has sugar and spices added. I like Libby's 100% pumpkin puree.

🥣 THIS WEEK'S RECIPE

Pumpkin Protein Balls with White Chocolate

Think pumpkin pie filling meets a soft little snack bite, finished with a drizzle of white chocolate. They're made with pumpkin purée, almond butter, oat flour and vanilla protein powder.

  • No baking: Just mix, roll and chill.
  • Easy to make ahead: Keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • A little protein and fiber: From the protein powder, oats, almond butter and pumpkin.
  • A little white chocolate on top: Because it's lovely with the pumpkin spice.

RECIPES | YOUTUBE | SHARE FEEDBACK Hi Reader, One thing I really love about nutrition is that you’re never really “finished” learning. Even after years of university and working as a dietitian, I’m still constantly reading, listening, questioning things and sometimes changing my mind when better evidence comes along. I’ve had quite a few comments lately asking for nutrition book recommendations, so I thought I’d share some of my favorites today. But first, there’s something I’ve changed my...

muhummara dip

all my favorites | recipes | videos Hi Reader, If you’ve never heard of muhammara, it’s a roasted red pepper and walnut dip. I first tried it on a trip to NYC when we wanted to be a bit more adventurous and try something different from hummus... and I was completely sold! More recently, I’ve also been looking for practical ways to help people eat more nuts. They're a great source of unsaturated fats and, despite nuts being relatively high in calories, regularly eating nuts doesn’t seem to be...

RECIPES | YOUTUBE | SHARE FEEDBACK Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Today, I want to talk about a topic that came up in clinic a lot this week: protein powders. First, I’m all for prioritizing protein.

They often notice fewer cravings, feel more satisfied after meals, find weight management easier, and can better support things like muscle health and blood sugar balance. But despite what social media might have you...
