Method
-
Measure pumpkin seeds.
Using a kitchen scale, measure out 0.8 ounces (approximately 22.7 grams) of roasted pumpkin seeds. This amount helps meet the target protein and fat macros for the snack.
Tip: If you don't have a scale, this is roughly 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds. -
Prepare celery sticks.
Wash fresh celery stalks thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean towel. Cut the celery into sticks about 3-4 inches long until you have approximately 0.5 cup.
Tip: Cut celery sticks evenly to make them easy to hold and dip if desired. -
Combine and serve.
Place the measured pumpkin seeds and celery sticks on a small plate or bowl. Enjoy immediately as a crunchy, nutritious snack.
Tip: For added flavor, you can sprinkle a pinch of salt or your favorite seasoning on the pumpkin seeds.
