Seeds are packed full of goodness, but lots of people find them hard to incorporate into their diet. Here are some simple ways to try adding more seeds to your meals and snacks.

Sprinkle Some on Your Breakfast

Whether your go-to breakfast is cereal, toast, or porridge, try having some seeds sprinkled on top for some extra flavor and crunch, as well as their added health. Chia seeds work well with cereal and porridge, and you could try pumpkin seeds sprinkled over your toast.

Bake Some Seedy Flapjacks

Flapjacks are easy and delicious. If you add some seeds to the mix before baking, their flavor and texture will be even better and you’ll pack in loads of seeds with one bite. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds work well here and pair well with dried fruit too. 

Turn Them Into a Tasty Snack

If you’re a lover of a salty snack, then try making these seeds to have instead of chips. Put a small amount of oil in a frying pan and then add some seeds of your choice. Toast these for a few minutes, and then sprinkle over some salt, paprika, and cumin, and continue to toast for a few more minutes.
