Don't you agree - sunflowers seeds are an EASY way to be healthy!Quick and easy ways to eat Sunflower Seeds are to grab a handful, put them in trail mix, or top your salad with them. I mixed almond butter with equal parts of honey and vinegar for the dressing - had I been grocery shopping lately it would have been great with cut apples or cranberries - but I guess you have to make do with what you have.
