Notes

Helpful tips
  • Try to use raw, unsalted nuts and seeds. I buy mine from Trader Joes.
  • If you use dry roasted and salted, they will have a tendency to over cook and sometimes have more calories and you don't need the extra salt. That's my opinion.
  • You can use any combination of nuts. I enjoy this mix but others would work as well.
