Seeds
Sprinkled on salads, stirred through granola or blended into creamy nut smoothies, seeds offer a simple, nutritious boost to so many meals. My favourites are sunflower, pumpkin, chia and flaxseeds. Their healthy omega fatty acids content is fantastic and ensures I’m getting all the essential oils I need. Chia seeds are one of my favourites at the moment. A couple of tablespoons of these beauties stirred through a glass of almond milk with a pinch of ground cinnamon makes the most amazing pudding.
