Sounds really good! Fyi…Autumn just put out that pumpkin puree is a purple container, rather than green. 🙂
I saw that! I’m still waiting for further clarification since pumpkin is a winter squash. Strange!
I agree that pumpkin is a green. It even has a lower glycemic index than other winter squashes.
I think it’s a purple like how tomato sauce/salsa is considered a purple… but plain tomatoes are a green. Kinda the same concept…
Pumpkin is a fruit, a berry actually. Just checked with my farmer. Purple:)
Pumpkin is listed as green for 21 Day Fix, though (listed as winter squash). Autumn later mentioned in a video that she’d like us to use canned pumpkin puree as purple because you can fit more in the container when it’s in puree form. If you freshly dice a pumpkin, it’s still green.
purple and green container are the same size.
Yes, but you get different amounts of them in your daily meal plan.
Just had this for dessert. It was delicious! 🙂
So glad you liked it, Susan!

I want to start off by saying what a life saver this blog is for my 21 Day Fix recipes! Seriously…
I can’t wait to try this recipe! I was wondering, how do you froth the almond milk and how much do you use?
Thank you for being awesome!
Hi hi! Thank you for your kind words! Well, this is kind of funny, but actually just froth the top of my son’s cup of almond milk and swipe a few spoons of it, haha! I don’t want to dirty extra dishes. 😛 I use a milk frother I got at Bed, Beth & Beyond (with a coupon!). There are lots on Amazon, too. You just pour your milk of choice in a glass and put the frother in it and “pull” the milk upward to add air to it. It’s basically a teeny tiny hand blender/whisk.
what do you mean in your 21 day pumpkin recipe “green container of pumpkin”? i must be missing something, thanks
Hey, Jane! 21 Day Fix is a health and fitness program that includes portion control containers and a fitness plan. You can read more about it here (and see the containers I mention): https://www.fromforkstofitness.com/discounted-fitness-bundles/21-day-fix-challenge-pack/
Thank you for this recipe! Enjoying this as I type! So deliciously sweet and kicked my pumpkin craving!
You’re welcome, Jacqueline! Glad you like it! 🙂
It looks like this has a graham crust or something. Does it?
Nope, no crust on this one, Shirley.
Wow great recipe, I just had this and it feels like so much food! I thought maybe a full green was wrong! 🙂
Hey where are you guys finding your updates to the fix (purple rather than green e.g.)… If I did not read that here I’d never have know that. I use a LOT of pumpkin, and I have been counting that wrong I see now!

Hi hi, Tess! I get my updates from Autumn’s Facebook page and her Youtube channel (usually Q&A videos), too.
Did you ever get clarification about which container it falls under?
Diced pumpkin = green and pureed pumpkin = purple. She said puree is purple because you can fit more of it in the container when it’s in a pureed form. So if you want to count this as green, I’d just eat a little less. 😉
How much less would you say? Like a red instead of a green?
Jean so good!! Made tonight and it curbed my sweet tooth thanks for posting!!
Wonderful! So glad you liked it, Melissa!
I have tried so many of your recipes and they are hands down deliscious!!! Making this dessert now in case I’m trapped in this storm! 🙂
thank you for making my new life change easier!!!
So glad you love it, MH! <3
This looks DELICIOUS but for those of us who don’t have the containers…can you provide an estimate of how much pumpkin is used? Is it 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup – ish?
Thanks!! Jen
So, if I were to make this in a regular oven rather than a microwave, what temp/time would you recommend? I know this will sound odd, but we don’t have a microwave at home. (Not enough counter space.)
In regards to pumpkin puree & 21 Day Fix, does 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin puree count as a 1/2 or whole purple container or 1 green? Thanks.
This is delicious, thanks for the great recipes that keep within the 21 Day Fix. I’ll definitely be making it again.
How much of the optional sweetener do you recommend? I think I have stevia. Thanks.
