Pumpkin Yogurt Cheesecake Shake
The bright orange color of pumpkin shows that it is loaded with beta-carotene, a carotenoid that turns to vitamin A in the body. A diet rich in beta-carotene may reduce the risk of cancer, protect you from heart disease, and even reduce the degenerative effects of aging!
