Pumpkin seeds are one of the best plant-based sources of magnesium, a mineral essential for muscle and nerve function, energy production, and bone health.
Almonds are an excellent source of monounsaturated fats, heart-healthy fats that can help lower LDL cholesterol and support overall cardiovascular health.
Popcorn is a whole grain, meaning it contains a good amount of fibre. Fibre supports digestion, promotes gut health, and helps you feel full longer, making it an ideal snack for weight management.
