This creamy, high fibre dip is a crowd pleaser – serve it with raw vegetables or whole-grain crackers. It’s also a delicious spread on burgers and sandwiches.

This salad is simple to make and loaded with flavour, fibre, folate and magnesium. It tastes even better when made a day or two in advance. Prepare it on the weekend and enjoy it as a vegetarian lunch during the week.

It's hard to believe these tasty muffins have only 150 calories each! Pure pumpkin purée has about one-third of the calories of pumpkin pie filling, without added sugar and fat.
