Ingredients

Pumpkin seeds 1 oz
Dried apricots 1/4 cup

Method

Measure pumpkin seeds. Use a kitchen scale or measuring cup to measure 1 ounce of pumpkin seeds. If you only have a measuring cup, 1 ounce is approximately 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds.
Tip: Use raw or roasted pumpkin seeds without added salt or flavor for the healthiest option.
Measure dried apricots. Measure 1/4 cup of dried apricots. If the apricots are large, you can chop them into smaller pieces for easier eating.
Tip: Chopping dried apricots helps distribute their sweetness evenly throughout the snack.
Combine ingredients. Place the pumpkin seeds and dried apricots together in a small bowl or container. Mix gently to combine.
Tip: Mixing the ingredients ensures you get a bit of everything in each bite.
Serve or pack. Enjoy your snack immediately or pack it in a portable container for an on-the-go energy boost.
Tip: Keep the snack in an airtight container to maintain freshness if not eating right away.

Pro tips

For added flavor, lightly toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
If you prefer a sweeter snack, drizzle a small amount of honey over the mixture before eating.
