Last weekend I taught a gluten-free cooking class and by far the easiest and most delicious item I made (other than the kale chips of course) was my sunflower seed spread. Say goodbye to ho-hum hummus and try this recipe that will keep your metabolism running efficiently and kick those sugar cravings to the curb.
The slightly crunchy, mildly nutty flavour of sunflower seeds, coupled with a little curry spice is a match made in heaven, just spread it on a cucumber slice or brown rice cracker. The good fat in sunflower seeds is what I love most about this recipe.
If you are a regular reader of That’s Fit.ca, then you are most likely well aware of the benefits of snacking. If you want to prevent your metabolism from slowing down to a snail’s pace, then snacking is a good strategy to stay energized and balanced throughout the day. It also prevents you from hitting junk food at midday, which we both know isn’t going to get your booty in bikini shape for poolside lounging in July.
