]]>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 youβll 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 youβre 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.

Shelled hemp seeds and hemp seed oil are absolutely packed with polyunsaturated fatty acids (including omega 3, 6 and 9) in nutritionally significant amounts. Hemp seeds contain more omega 3 than flax seeds, chia seeds and even fish! The ratio of Omega 3 and 6 is described as the "perfect ratio" for human consumption.β β 
They have a very high protein content, making them one of the greatest sources of plant-based #vegan protein around!β β Origin
Hemps seeds are the seeds of the hemp plant, which is part of the Cannabis sativa family. Although they contain only a very marginal percentage of the psychoactive THC compound they are still illegal in some countries.

The seeds contain over 30% fat, but donβt worry itβs a good thing. They are very rich with mostly Omega 3 and Omega 6 which are great for the human body. Historically, they were also a great source of vegetable-based protein as 25% of their total calorie is actually a protein.

]]>Nut and seed butters are packed full of great vitamins and minerals including protein, fiber, calcium, and more. The only problem is that buying them in the store doesn’t necessarily mean they’re completely healthy, so follow these tips and you can make your own at home in a snap!
While others may be addicted to coffee 
I am definitely addicted to nut butter! 
Last year I created a recipe for Maple Vanilla Macadamia Nut Butter. 
You can find it on my blog. I linked it directly in my linktree so you donβt have to look for it. Just click the link in my description. 
Iβm already planning to make some more nut butter this weekend (Iβll have a 4 day weekend, hell yes! 
). Maybe something chai flavored? 
Julia Get Unsalted
Whatever kind of butter you are going to make, start off by buying an unsalted version of the ingredient. You can add your own salt into the butter later on, but if you buy the salted version, it may turn out to be too salty.
Oil
When you put the nuts or seeds in the food processor, it might just be crumbs at first. But don’t resort to oil! If you keep the motor running for a minute or so longer, you will find that smooth nut butter is just around the corner, no oil needed.
