Chef's Note
For the best flavor, toast the nuts and seeds until they're just golden - be careful not to burn them as they can become bitter. This protein-boosted nut mix is perfect for a post-workout snack or afternoon energy boost. You can customize the nut mixture based on your preferences while maintaining the same proportions.
