Health and fertility benefits of Pumpkin Seed Cluster Snack Mix

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

½ cup salted pumpkin seeds (in shell)
¼ cup unsalted peanuts
2 cups (about 4 ounces) high-fiber cluster cereal
¼ cup golden raisins, or dried cranberries
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook the pumpkin seeds and peanuts 2 to 3 minutes or until beginning to lightly brown, stirring frequently. Set aside on paper towel in a thin layer to cool quickly, about 5 minutes.
Combine the pumpkin seed mixture with the remaining ingredients.
