Today we are going to focus on one of my favourite superfood ingredients. The pumpkin seed. One of the coolest things about pumpkin seeds is that their nutritional benefits actually improve with age. Unlike other foods that decrease in nutrient density and decompose as they age, studies at the Massachusetts Experiment Station showed that squash and pumpkin seeds stored for more than 5 months actually showed a marked increase in protein content! Out of all seeds, they are the most alkaline-forming in the body, which is good news because our bodies tend to be more acidic on the standard-american-diet (SAD) and so we are always trying to create more alkalinity in our bodies since acidity is linked to excess weight, pain and other health problems.
Pumpkin seeds are a great plant-based source of protein with 100 grams of pumpkin seeds providing a whopping 30 grams of protein. Pumpkin seeds contain phytosterols, compounds that that have been shown to reduce levels of LDL cholesterol. The L-tryptophan in pumpkin seeds helps promote a good night sleep and lowering depression. Tryptophan is converted to serotonin and niacin and serotonin not only makes you feel good, but helps you sleep better as well.
Pumpkin seeds contain loads of trace minerals including phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, iron and copper. It contains vitamin K, and is an excellent source of the B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) and folates) and vitamin E.
Today I'm going to share with you pumpkin seeds in few forms. I found this great new protein powder from Omega Nutrition called Pumpkin Seed Protein Powder which is organic, vegan, gluten free, nut free, sugar free, and yeast free. They point out that pumpkin seeds contain 18 amino acids including 10 essntial amino acids with 60% protein with great bioavailability and is highly digestible. This protein is made from partially defatted pumpkin seeds. There are no additives, fillers or flavours in this - it is straight pumpkin seeds - ground super fine. And, it is made in by Omega Nutrition in Vancouver BC Canada which I think is kind of cool! :)
The second powerful pumpkin seed ingredient we are going to use in our smoothie today is pumpkin seed oil. I just love the rich colour of pumpkin seed oil. Pumpkin seed oil can be beneficial for intestinal health. Listen up if you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The high fatty acid content may help reduce inflammation in the GI tract and many people report a lessening of symptoms when they take pumpkin seed oil regularly. Pumpkin seed oil benefits our joints and is a popular supplement for the treatment of arthritic pain. The high levels of antioxidants, fatty acids and other compounds in pumpkin seed oil seem to help reduce inflammation in joints for sufferers of arthritis. In fact, some research has shown the positive effects of pumpkin seed oil on arthritis is on a par with anti-arthritis drug Indomethacin, without the side effects.

Great advice. Never thought to put the oil in smoothies. Creation is so beautiful. Thank you!
+CertainlyCaroline such a great addition thanks for watching
I
Sprouted Pumkin seeds straight in the smoothie blend very well...we just blend it. Extra long. Add a half banana cinnamon and it's delish. I have no seed chunks . Plus your not buying even more plastic just to get ground up pumpkin seeds. China's not taking our recycled plastic anymore so it just ends up in the dump or Ocean.
Thank you for your video. Pumpkin seeds are great.
Also, the fat from the oil helps to metabolize the raw leafy greens in your smoothie!

Coffee grinder will turn hulled pumpkin seeds to powder. I have not tried pumpkin seeds with hulls but I suspect it will grind them too.
+Richard Einstein Pro tips thank you :-)
The only way to eat them is shell on yum
I love you doctor.
cut the mango both side apart as close to the seed to leave out the center seed part, take the center seed part make a cut across the skib and peel off the skin with finger then make a small cut across same as you the skin and remove the fresh. For the 2 side parts, use knife rectagle across cut end up look like many small cubic cells then take a teaspoon scoop out the fresh.
pro tips :)
The mango you can do that on a chop board in separate bowl
I have been using Probase Nutrition Pumpkin Seed Protein powder and zero stomach issues with it.

Hi Melissa, is there a difference Pumpkin oil and Pumpkin "seed" oil?
Not that I know of but I'm not an expert on it :)
Does it somehow support weight loss?
Can I replace it with my protein Shake?

How to use pumpkin seeds? Reply
i thought oils went rancid fairly quickly?.....i heard papaya was mainly genetically modified these days....i bet sprouting the pumpkin seeds is best
You don't get chlorophyll from seeds just because they are green. But you could always sprout them to eat the leaves, then you have vitamin k and magnesium.. :)
Thanks so much Derek! I appreciate your wisdom and knowledge.

SharpieNail Art :)
SharpieNail Art pumpkin seeds can be dark green or light green...the lighter ones are mostly from china...the darker ones from Europe are sweeter tasting...but they are harder to find in stores

Hi where can I buy the pumpkin power and the seeds?
+Davida Godbold I got them at a health food store
Thank you
walmart.com
Love
Does eating pumpkin seeds 100 grams a day, make us gain weight
lol...no idea
it was great until I saw protein powder - don't put such things - it's not natural, just don't, I made my smoothie by mixing pumpkin seed flour - you make it by crushing plates that are left after making oil but you can use seeds as well, put them in the coffee grinder - and mix it with kefir made from those little magical kefir grains or whatever it's called and drink it - you leave it to stay a little. maybe a little avocado,I don't know, it's tasty to die for
Thanks Marta! :) That's great advice. :) Cheers, Melissa
I hope you washed that kale before you put that in your blender.
+Mia Miller I hope so too :-)
