Pumpkin Perk


If you get a kick out of chocolate – you’re going to LOVE pumpkin seeds. I’ll explain, in a minute…

Pumpkin seeds are natural mood stimulants – just like chocolate – but without the sugar! The secret ingredient that makes us feel good is tryptophan. And two ounces of pumpkin seeds has a full daily dose of magnesium to strengthen bones.

If you don’t care for pumpkin seeds by the handful, you might like the raw seeds baked into muffins or cookies – or the toasted type tossed into soups or salads.
