Pumpkin

​

Pumpkin is a squash fruit, usually orange in color when ripe. The rind is smooth and its color depends on the particular species (very dark-green, very pale-green, & orange-yellow are common). Botanically it is a fruit, referring to a plant part which grows from a flower; however, it is widely regarded as a vegetable in culinary terms, referring to how it is eaten.

Pumpkin puree is high in protein and is a great alternative in terms of flavor and color to any protein drink.
