Pumpkin Seeds: A Great Snack for Fall, or Any Time of Year!


Everyone's talking about pumpkin spice now that fall is here, but what about pumpkin seeds!? These are one of my favorite toppings for salads and also as a snack alone, and they are jam-packed little powerhouses! Some of the benefits are:

🎃Zinc for immune-system support
🎃Magnesium for heart-health ❤️
🎃Healthy omega-3 fats
🎃Anti-inflammatory benefits

They are so easy to make, too!  I love to make a pan in the oven on a high broil, stirring them frequently (they burn easy if you forget them!). It only takes about 5 minutes to make them, and you'll be filling your body with nutrition to boot! Bonus tip: Sprinkle them with a little Himalayan sea salt.  Mmm...yummy!

Here they are portioned out into 1/3 cup servings, ready for me to add to a wrap or salad for crunch, or just as a snack! 


As always, I'm here to help you on your fitness journey- just reach out! And if you try these yummy seeds, I'd love to hear about it! Live happy, live happy. Love, Amanda
