Healthy, Crunchy & Perimenopause-Friendly: My Favourite Seed Snacks

I recently received a parcel from Lazada filled with some of the simplest yet most nourishing snacks — lightly roasted melon seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. No heavy seasoning, no added sugar — just clean, wholesome crunch.
