Pumpkin seeds are a powerhouse of nutrients. They contain healthy omega 3 fats, which are crucial for brain development and a healthy heart.

For a delicious snack try these Honey and Soy Toasted Seeds
Heat one tablespoon of sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan, add 75g each of pumpkin and sunflower seeds and cook continuously stirring, for about 2 minutes or until the seeds are lightly browned. Remove from the heat, stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce, return to the heat for one minute and then leave to cool.

These are so yummy.
You can change the recipe to what you have in the pantry too.
I also added mini choc chips and dried blueberries and both have worked well.
