A couple of years ago in my professional capacity I worked with a company called "Munchy Seeds" to create the painted "Hand Animals" that grace their colourful packaging. Bodypainter by day - food blogger by night... I've always loved the packaging they created with my work and the nice thing is I also love their products. I've never tired of finding them in a shop and being secretly chuffed. With my current diet they are a fabulous thing to snack on in between meals. Seeds are something I htink is vital to support this type of vegan diet. So I've been adding to and consuming my supply. They come in lots of flavours: there are plain Pumpkin Seeds (Naked Mix), Omega Seeds Mix, Cajun Mix, Vanilla Mix and lots of others too. The vanilla pumpkin seeds are especially good for assuaging a sweet craving which is great for me as too much refined sugar is a no no on this diet.
I have been using them on my salads with great effect. My favourite to use is the Omega Mix which over the past couple of weeks I have been merrily scattering on many of my salads to give them an extra boost!
Although my 5 year old will not eat seeds in salad and is perennially suspicious of seeds in bread she loves eating Munchy Seeds as they come straight from the tub - which amazed me, but who am I to complain. It helps that they make cute little lunchbox size packs.
If you have not come across thier goods yet then give them a go. Thier website is www.munchyseeds.co.uk or you can get them at Waitrose and most good Health Food Stores and Farm shops!
