Pumpkin Pie Dip

Healthy Fact of the Day

While indulgent, this dip contains nutrients from pumpkin, including vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants. To make healthier, use light cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. Natural sweeteners like maple syrup can replace some powdered sugar. The spices offer health benefits: cinnamon may help regulate blood sugar, while nutmeg has anti-inflammatory properties. Serve with fresh fruit for added nutrients and fiber. For a lighter version, use protein-rich Greek yogurt as the base. While delicious, this is a dessert dip best enjoyed in moderation. Consider portion control by pre-portioning into small serving cups.
