Cute green little pumpkin seeds! Good for so many things, including:
a healthy dose of iron
rebalancing hormones
plant-based protein
muscle relaxing nutrients
These little gems are great tossed on a salad, eaten raw, even toasted and salted. But they can do so much more than that! Including, be made into a mylk (that’s plant-based spelling for milk). It takes just 5 minutes (that’s nothing!) and if you’re preparing a smoothie, halve the recipe and toss all ingredients in with the rest of the smoothie ingredients for a creamy finish and an even shorter trip to the kitchen!
Enjoy xo
