I know what you’re thinking…. “Isn’t it a little late to be writing a post about pumpkin seeds?” Well, the Fall pumpkins may be long gone, but the New Year is upon us, and that means its resolution time. Like the rest of us, you have probably resolved to develop a healthier diet. Most of the time it’s not too hard to find delicious and healthy meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but what about the in-between times? What about when its nearing 3pm and that salad you had for lunch isn’t holding you over until dinner? You need a healthy go-to snack, and Lynne has just the thing!

When Lynne wants a healthy and tasty snack she bakes up these spicy roasted pumpkin seeds. On her blog, Cafe Lynnylu, she tells us that “pepitas are not only a rich source of magnesium, which helps build and strengthen bones and keeps the circulatory system running smoothly, but are packed with protein Vitamin B and Iron as well as monounsaturated and omega6 polyunsaturated fats. To boost the protein in salads or bread, add a few tablespoons of pepitas.” Lynne’s pumpkin seeds are not just a great tasting snack, they are great for you!
