Pumpkins are berries? And you can juice them? Just wash the pumpkin well, peel off the thick skin, scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp attached to them (roast them later!), cut into small chunks and send through your juicer! Great to juice alongside carrots, apple and ginger. Or great to juice alone and mix with coconut water and pumpkin pie spice. Pumpkin seeds, the low-fat and protein-rich centre of the pumpkin, are loaded with tryptophan. Tryptophan, an amino acid, gets converted to serotonin, aka the happy hormone, which could ease #depression. Tryptophan also helps us sleep quicker, deeper and longer — once it gets converted into serotonin and then melotonin, also known as the sleep hormone.
