SuperSeedz Review and Giveaway
I think it’s pretty obvious by now that I’m obsessed with food. I’m always planning my next meal, brainstorming a new recipe, or trying to find healthy options for snacks. Some of my favorite snacks include my yam fries with garlic aioli, raw veggies with vegan walnut and mushroom pate, and most recently, this toasted coconut and goji berry trail mix. Yum.
When it comes to snacks, I really like options that are portable because it’s easy to keep them in my bag or at the office without worrying about spoilage. This is exactly why I’m so excited to share my latest snack obsession with you: SuperSeedz.
SuperSeedz are shelled, dry-roasted pumpkin seeds that come in eight different flavors: Sea Salt, Really Naked, Sugar & Cinnamon, Tomato Italiano, Somewhat Spicy, Super Spicy, Coco Joe and Original Curry. Not only are they delicious, but they’re also gluten-free, peanut free, tree nut-free, dairy-free, grain-free, vegan, MSG-free and non-GMO. Score.
Nutritionally, I also like pumpkin seeds for a couple of different reasons:
1. Protein: 1 ounce of pumpkin seeds has 8 grams of protein (16% RDI). When I was plant-based I would often add pumpkin seeds to smoothies to increase my protein intake and they’re a perfect way to add more healthy protein into your diet.
2. Iron: 1 ounce of pumpkin seeds contains 2 mg of iron (15% RDI). Pumpkin seeds are one of the best plant-based sources of iron, which helps facilitate the growth of healthy cells and is especially important for women.
3. Zinc: 1 ounce of pumpkin seeds contains 2 mg of zinc (13% RDI), which is pretty important because this essential trace mineral that helps our immune systems stay strong!

Toasted Coconut and Goji Berry Trail Mix
There are a lot of reasons why people make trail mix. Most people I know make trail mix because they need quick energy on a hike. Or a bike ride. Or perhaps a good run. But me? No. I make trail mix prior to a shopping trip at IKEA. I mean, can you think of…
DIY Kitchen Makeover
I believe that the kitchen is the most important room in any home. The kitchen is where food gets made, bodies get nourished, and important conversations happen.

Do you ever have those nights where you wake up at 3 am and just cannot get back to sleep? I had one of those nights recently and it was downright miserable. Although, I will say I got a lot of thinking done. Thinking about really, really important thoughts like… Should I go back to…

What I learned during my week off
Sometimes we really need a break… but for some reason in American society, it’s sooo hard to slow down and take one. I should know. I’m the prime example of someone who has often refused to take a break. Why? Because I’m silly and stubborn sometimes, and in my mind, it always seemed like I…
Purrrfect Mornings
And here is the post where I officially go out on a limb, show you all exactly how weird I am, and lose about 3% of my readership in the process. It’s okay, I’m willing to risk those odds because I must show you how cute my cat is. And to do that, you’d have…
Spring Detox Smoothie
I have made a lot of green smoothies in my time. Seriously. A lot. I’m talking a green smoothie every day for the past seven years. That’s a lot of smoothies. It all started back in 2007 when I was working at a raw foods cafe. I probably made over 10,000 green smoothies during that…
