Halloween Treats

Posted by on Oct 27, 2011 in Wellness | 0 comments

Keeping fit can be a challenge, especially when certain festivities revolve around candy and chocolate. Time to resist the temptation this year and remember another tasty treat that goes hand-in-hand with Halloween: pumpkin seeds!

Save the seeds from your jack-o-lantern and soak them in water. Next, drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle with seasoning and bake them in the oven for a quarter hour. The result is a tasty but healthy snack!

Pumpkin seeds are full of antioxidants and fibre. They’re also rich in zinc (which nourishes the brain) and loaded with Magnesium (which is good for your muscles, nerves, heart and bones).
