Pumpkin seeds + Cacao = a high protein, fiber-filled, incredibly delicious, heart-healthy, anti-oxidant packed, immune-boosting, superfood snack that will satisfy both your savory and sweet tooth that you can feel good about eating every day!  You can also add a pinch of cayenne if you like a little spice. Enjoy in your favorite trail mix, over oatmeal, or just by the handful!
