Pumpkin is not only a lovely trademark of autumn and the impending holidays, it’s also a very popular ingredient and flavoring wherever you turn! What you may not be aware of, however, is that it also contains kidney-friendly beta carotene which is great for healthy skin and may even stop wrinkles. Banana and nuts have lots of potassium which help lower blood pressure and oats are great for the heart and the kidneys.

1/3 cup 100% pumpkin puree (not pie filling)

1/3 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup oat flakes (from a box of old fashion oats)
1 T 100% peanut butter, unsalted
