Measure Pumpkin Seeds.
Using a kitchen scale or measuring spoons, measure out approximately 1.4 tablespoons (about 21 grams) of roasted pumpkin seeds. This portion size ensures you get 12 grams of protein and 16 grams of fat as per the target macros.
Tip: If you don’t have a scale, use a tablespoon and slightly less than one and a half tablespoons. -
Prepare the Pear.
Wash the pear thoroughly under running water. You can eat the pear with the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients. Slice the pear into wedges or bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to slice the pear safely and evenly. -
Serve and Enjoy.
Place the measured pumpkin seeds in a small bowl or plate. Arrange the pear slices alongside the seeds. This combination provides a delicious contrast of crunchy and juicy textures.
Tip: Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Pro tips
- Roast your own pumpkin seeds at home for fresher flavor by tossing raw seeds with a little oil and salt, then baking at 300°F (150°C) for 20-30 minutes.
- Keep the pear chilled before serving for a refreshing snack.
