It’s true, we love crunchy foods. Crunchy peanut butter, extra crispy chips, and who doesn’t love popcorn?
But, we shouldn’t have to limit our crispy-fix-solutions to over-processed and high-sodium junk food, should we? We don’t think so.

Go ahead and get to know each other. You will probably want to invite them back from Thanksgiving dinner.
(Psssst: This is under 200 calories and 10 grams of fat! Plus, pumpkin is packed with nutrients.)
