Pumpkin is a great source of beta-carotene, which converts into vitamin A in our bodies, helping strengthen our vision. Lentils are low in calories, but are rich in iron and folate and an excellent source of protein, making this a great dish for anyone trying to lose weight.
You can also add meat like ground beef or turkey to this if you want a little more protein.
