Chef's Note

For the best flavor and texture, toast the nuts and seeds just until they become fragrant - they'll continue to crisp as they cool. If you don't have whey protein powder, you can substitute with collagen peptides or simply omit it and increase the amount of nuts for a similar protein boost.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almonds

  • 2 tablespoons whey protein powder (vanilla)

  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries (no sugar added)

  • 1 cup air-popped popcorn

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup almonds, 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, and 1 cup air-popped popcorn.

  • 3

    In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm 1 teaspoon honey for 10 seconds until it's more liquid.

  • 4

  • 5

    Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

  • 6

    Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly toasted and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
