A sacred fruit and dietary staple for Native Americans, pumpkin is a superfood. High in fiber and rich in carotenoids, potassium, magnesium, and vitamins C and E, pumpkins are not just Halloween decorations, they are loaded with powerful medicine. Phytonutrients like beta-carotene and alpha-carotene have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers, and the carminative spices in this smoothie make dairy easier to digest. The pumpkin's orange color and voluptuous shape make it an ideal second chakra ingredient.
