It's National Pasta Day! 🍝

Pasta can still be a part of a balanced eating pattern! Here are a few ways to add more nutrition to your favorite pasta dishes:

🌾Whole-wheat pasta- more fiber and nutrients than traditional pasta
🌱Chickpea or lentil pasta- A great way to add protein and fiber
🥦Spiraled veggie pasta- Try zucchini, carrots, or butternut squash
💪High protein pasta- brands such as Barilla Protein Plus or Goodles often have 10g of protein or more per serving!

✨A few simple tips:
✅Add lean protein, such as chicken, turkey, shrimp, or beans
✅Mix in your favorite vegetables (if you have picky kids, vegetables can even be pureed into the sauce!)
✅Choose tomato-based sauce more often than creamy sauces
✅Be mindful of portion size and enjoy your meal!

Let's talk about pumpkin! 🎃

🍂Pumpkin is more than just a fall favorite latte or dessert flavor; it is actually packed with nutrients that support a healthy diet.💪

Did you know?
🎃Vitamin A: Pumpkin is rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A to support eye health and immune function
🧡Fiber: Pumpkin contains both soluble and insoluble fiber, which helps support digestion, blood sugar regulation, and satiety
💪Potassium: Pumpkin is high in potassium, which helps support muscle function, fluid balance, and blood pressure
✨Low in calories: Plain pumpkin puree is naturally low in calories, while adding flavor, moisture, and nutrients to recipes

🎃Nutrition tip: Choose 100% pumpkin puree instead of pumpkin pie filling for a versatile option without added sugar.

🍁Easy ways to add pumpkin to your day:
-Stir into oatmeal or Greek yogurt
-Add to soups, chilis, or pasta sauces
-Use in muffins, pancakes, or baked oatmeal
-Add pumpkin seeds to salads, yogurts, or soups for a magnesium boost

What are your favorite ways to use pumpkin in the fall? 🧡
