Primia PUMPKIN SEEDS. 100g

A handful of pumpkin seeds has around 8g of protein, around 11g of fiber, and around 14g of fat (with all but 2.5g of that fat being the healthy mono- and polyunsaturated kind), which means that pumpkin seeds are great if you’re looking to turn your smoothie into a more balanced meal replacement, or if you only have time for a quick snack in the afternoon.

Pumpkin seeds are incredibly rich in magnesium, an essential mineral for easing pain associated with overworked muscles. Magnesium may also help with anxiety, as well as regulating a healthier sleep/wake cycle.

Another mineral pumpkin seeds have in spades is zinc, which has been shown to help with everything from boosting your immune system to creating clearer skin.

In addition to antioxidants and potassium, pumpkin seeds also contain L-tryptophan, an amino acid that is used in the production of melatonin and serotonin, and may help naturally elevate your mood.
