Does anyone have any good recipes using pumpkin (canned)? Anything from low carb sweets to smoothies I'm craving that pumpkin taste!!

I mix canned pumpkin in my yogurt. I'm about 18 months out and can eat more, so scale back accordingly:

1/2 cup canned pumpkin, 1 cup Fage 0 Plan Yougurt, Splenda to taste, splash of vanilla, sprinkle of cinnamon

Last fall I also enjoyed it in a Protein drink. About 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1 cup soy milk, 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder, sprinkle of cinnamon.

Pumpkin is a great fall flavor with only 40 calories per half cup. Yeah Fall!

Check out Torani.com They do offer Pumpkin Spice in sugar free - and many other sugar free flavors I haven't seen in local stores.

I'm currently on a liquid diet, so I make pumpkin cheesecake (just the filling).

Take 1 box of sf instant cheesecake and mix it with 2 c cold ff milk (I use Braums milk as it's higher in Protein, it's a local store here in Texas). Then mix in 1/2 of a can of pumpkin puree (Libby brand) and 1/2 a container of ff cool whip with about 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Chill and eat. So freak'n good. Makes about 6 servings at 1/2 c each I think. And you can add a scoop of unflavored protein to the first step if you wish. YUM!

The cheesecake sounds awesome!

I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving. I'll probably only get to eat turkey, because my mom makes carb-crazy sides. Thanks

Sorry just saw the question on the can of pumpkin/size... I use the 15 oz cans of libby pumpkin puree. I use half of the can per recipe. You could probably add more, but the calories change. I know what my brands in this recipe equate to (and it's about 100 calories per 1/2 c. a serving per mfp inputs). But know that it differs depending on what you use brandwise. But yessss it's good!

Quelyn01 yum thanks for recipe!

I use 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, tsp of stevia (or Splenda), and sf pumpkin pie spice. (I like more cinnamon so I add a little more of cinnamon). If you need more Protein for the day, add a little bit of unflavored protein.

Otherwise, stir and enjoy. Tastes like crustless pumpkin pie. Very healthy and gives me my pumpkin fix.
