Nut and Seed Mix

Ingredients

Equal parts of each (ex. 1/2 cup, 1 cup):

  • Walnut pieces
  • Slivered almonds
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Flax seeds
  • Hemp hearts

Method

  1. Add everything to a large jar. Secure lid tightly and mix, turn and swirl jar to distribute everything evenly.
  2. Store in a cool dark place (ideally the fridge or freezer) for a longer shelf life, as light and heat contribute to rancidity.

Notes:

  1. Use your favourite nuts and seeds to make this mix to your preference. Sesame seeds, whole chia seeds, pecans, cashews, and pistachios are some other versatile favourites of mine.
  2. If you have trouble digesting nuts and seeds (due to phytic acid) I highly recommend purchasing activated nuts or trying your hand in activating them yourself. I use this website as my guide.
  3. You can also keep two (or more) separate mixes if you are seed cycling or have different mix preference for different meals (ex. sweet favourites and savoury favourites).
  4. Dried cranberries and dried blueberries make a great addition as they also go well on both sweet and savoury meals.
  5. I have this mix almost daily for breakfast (on yogurt, oatmeal, and smoothie bowls), as a crunchy topping on salads and nourish bowls, and even blitzed up with some seasonings to use as a crust for chicken, bison, or tofu.
