PUMPKIN SEED MILK 🎃 follow onceuponapumpkin for more recipes & all things pumpkin this fall! 🍂

Here’s how I made it 👇🏻
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 3 cups filtered water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup ( you need a little sweetness to balance out the flavor! You could also use dates but I liked maple syrup the best here)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- pumpkin pie spice

Blend everything together in a high speed blender. Refrigerate before using! It will last about a week in the fridge and naturally separate so shake it up well before each use!

Pumpkin seeds are small but mighty when it comes to nutrition —- they’re packed with plant based protein, fiber, tons of magnesium ( a mineral a lot of us aren’t getting enough of), zinc & iron. I love that for us with this pumpkin seed milk! 💯

REALISTIC wellness reminders ✨✨ In this day

REALISTIC wellness reminders ✨✨

In this day and age filled with unrealistic routines and diet tactics all over the internet I want you to know it’s ok if yours doesn’t look like that — what you need to do to feel your best might be different from what other people are doing and that’s a good thing 💯 We all have UNIQUE individual needs!

Perfect diets and routines don’t exist — so don’t strive for them. I challenge you reframe things you see other people doing and ask yourself how you can make that work for you instead of the other way around.

Which one of these reminders speaks to you most?!

BEST SOURCES OF B VITAMINS if you don't eat that m

BEST SOURCES OF B VITAMINS if you don't eat that much meat or none at all // B vitamins are essential for energy production ----> symptoms of low vitamin B include extreme fatigue, lack of energy, brain fog, noticeable heart palpitations and stomach issues. 👎🏻

B vitamins literally help the body convert food into energy so these are crucial vitamins you want to be making sure you're getting enough of. You might be low on B vitamins if:

- you eat a vegetarian diet
- have an autoimmune condition
- you're on hormonal birth control
- excessive alcohol consumption

Meat is a main source of B vitamins so if you're vegetarian or just don't eat that much of it, cycle in these other sources into your diet on a daily basis because B vitamins are water soluble meaning you need to replace ones that are lost daily.
