WATCH: How to make lightly smoked chicken breast with pumpkin seed sauce

If one of your New Year’s resolutions was to either lose weight, or maintain weight loss, then you might be looking for new foods and recipes that are low in calories, nutritious, but also filling. As it happens, there’s a trendy new ingredient that’s perfect for adding to meals to make them more filling – and leave you feeling satisfied for longer.

What are pumpkin seeds?

Pumpkin seeds or kernels are found in the centre of the pumpkin, and the shell or husk is removed from the kernel, which is then dried. 

What are the benefits of eating pumpkin seeds?

Pumpkin seeds are having a foodie moment right now. Raw pumpkin seeds are packed with protein and fibre to satiate your hunger, are rih in Omega-3 anti-inflammatory acids – which are good for your heart – and just three tablespoons of pumpkin seeds serves up 9 grams of protein and two grams of fibre – for around 150 calories. Genius, right?
