I’m so over-the-moon excited to share this bariatric seed recipe with you today! This weight loss seed mix combines four powerhouse seeds that work together to keep you satisfied, boost your metabolism, and support your weight management goals. Plus, it takes less than 15 minutes to make and stores beautifully for up to two weeks.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup flaxseeds (rich in omega-3 fatty acids)
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (high in protein and magnesium)
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (vitamin E powerhouse)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds (fiber and protein boost)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (helps with nutrient absorption)
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (metabolism booster)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (balances flavors)
- 2 teaspoons nutritional yeast (adds savory, cheesy flavor)
Instructions
- In a medium container, combine the flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds. Mix them together so they’re evenly distributed.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the seed mixture, then sprinkle in the red chili powder and sea salt. Stir thoroughly until all seeds are evenly coated.
- Roast using microwave on medium power for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through. Alternatively, roast in 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes or in dry pan over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Let seeds cool completely once they’re golden and fragrant.
- Once cooled, stir in the nutritional yeast for savory, umami flavor.
- Transfer finished seed blend to an airtight container for storage.
