For both of my pregnancies I’ve liked salty and spicy things.
AND, I’m already a BIG eater and even more so while pregnant so am always on the lookout for healthy and filling foods. Plus, pumpkin seeds are a great source of protein and healthy fats as well as packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and numerous health promoting antioxidants.
**They truly do have a kick. Not overpowering…just perfection.**
