This Super Seed Slice is so handy to have in the freezer to grab for a snack or pack in lunchboxes. It’s super quick to make, press out and slice up. Most slices and raw balls I make are made with nuts so it’s nice to mix things up a bit! Why are seeds so good for you? They are a great source of omega-3 and omega-6, they have a high fibre content, and a high protein level for their size. They’re also a good source of calcium, zinc, copper, iron and magnesium.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
