Yes, it’s finally here: pumpkin time!

And the Starbucks latte star ingredient has way more to offer than just its comforting fall flavor. The fiber-rich veggies are loaded with beta-carotene, which gives a healthy boost to your vision, heart health, and immune system, studies show.

So as the leaves start to change, it’s time to take your favorite healthy dishes—from smoothie bowls and hummus to zoodles (noodles made out of spiralized noodles)—and give them a a yummy pumpkin makeover. No lattes required.—Willa Tellekson-Flash
