NUTRITION FACTS
✦ Per serving (about 1 1/2 cup): 6g of protein & 4g of fiber.
✦ Pumpkin seeds are one of the best plant-based sources of magnesium, a mineral vital for muscle function, nerve function, energy production, and bone health.
✦ Almonds are a great source of monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy fats that can help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and support overall cardiovascular health.
✦ Popcorn is a whole grain, which means it contains a good amount of fiber. Fiber aids digestion, supports gut health, and can help you feel fuller for longer, making it a great snack for weight management.
✦ Cranberries are packed with antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and vitamin C, which help protect the body from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals.
