Recipe Notes
  • If using whole nuts, break them down to smaller sizes!  Throw them all in a zip-lock bag and whack them with a meat tenderizer…just be careful you don’t turn them in to dust!
  • If using unsalted sprouted sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, increase salt in recipe to 1 tsp instead of 1/2 tsp.
  • Whenever possible, buy raw nuts, then soak and dehydrate them.  This makes them so much easier to digest by breaking down the Phytic Acid.  It’s super easy to do and you can use your oven if you don’t have a dehydrator.
  • You can also substitute 2-3 drops of cinnamon essential oil for the dried cinnamon.
