If you feel like enjoying a pumpkin pie but don’t feel like getting involved in making one, I recommend you try these “pumpkin pie” style balls. They are delicious, healthy, and straightforward to make. Also, the best part is that you can prepare them beforehand and keep them in the fridge for 3-4 days or even freeze them and take them out when you need them.

For this recipe, you only need 5 minutes and a handful of easy-to-find ingredients. In addition, you can make yourself pumpkin puree and almond butter.

These crackers are by far the best flourless crackers I have ever made. They are super crunchy, easy to make and so delicious. To make them you will only need a mix of seeds, salt and water. And if you want, you can spice them up adding your favorite spices.

These crackers are great for appetizers, meals and snacks, and are perfect with any sauce; try them with baba ganoush, beetroot sauce, and even cashew spread or almond butter. These crackers are also an easy snack to take to work, on a field trip, to the beach or wherever you want.

The recipe that I propose today, is one of the simplest that I have prepared at all, but really delicious. It is a pudding of chia seeds and flax with coconut milk. Its preparation is really simple and fast, but you have to let it rest for a few hours in the fridge. If taken at breakfast you can accompany fresh fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries …

When we talk about healthy fats, we often forget that seeds are not only part of this group but they are foods rich in Omega-3 and fiber; For this reason, I decided to share this recipe, whose protagonists are the seeds.

I hope you like it!
