SUPER SEEDS for WEIGHTLOSS
Seeds are a fantastic 
addition to any diet. A handful of a variety of seeds offers a wide range of nutrients and dietary fibre and increases your intake of vegetable origin omega 3 or ALA. Added to breakfast muesli or healthy snack bars, eaten alone or with nuts, cooked for an evening meal or lunch, added for crunch to salads and stir-fries, blended in with a smoothie, or mixed into your next muffin recipe, seeds are super versatile. Seeds make a great way to get maximum goodness naturally, they help stabilise blood glucose levels, increase your intake of healthy fats, and some can provide a great source of protein for energy.
