Is Pumpkin Keto?

A lot of Winter squashes are typically high in carbohydrates. However, pumpkin contains lower amounts of sugar and starch than other varieties of squashes, making it a keto friendly food. A cup of pumpkin puree typically has 12 grams of net carbs. If you’re using store bought pumpkin puree, make sure to buy the kind with no added sugars as sugars will make it much higher in carbs and thus, it will no longer be keto friendly. Pumpkins have a lot of nutritional benefits in them, so your dessert will be on the healthy side as well! They’re a good source of protein, magnesium, copper and zinc. Pumpkins are also high in Vitamin A, E, C and B, making them great for healthy skin, the immune system, good eye health and for protection against sun damage.

Crustless Pumpkin Pie

These mini pumpkin pies are crustless, so you can enjoy the filling of pumpkin pie without the carbs typically coming from the crust! Since the pie has no crust, it just melts in your mouth and makes it lighter on the stomach. This is great especially if you’ve just had quite a big meal before.
