Chef's Note
For the best flavor, toast the almonds and pumpkin seeds until they're just golden - but watch them carefully as nuts can burn quickly! You can customize this mix with your favorite nuts or seeds while maintaining the protein content. The protein powder not only adds nutrition but creates a light coating that helps the spices stick to the mix.
