Try mixing all your favorite nuts and seeds (Sesame seed, slivered almonds, cashew halves, hemp seed, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, ect.) into freshly ground almond nut butter. Then toss in some of your favorite dried fruits (dried blueberries, dried & chopped banana, cherries and so on), mix thoroughly!! Then spread your concoction out onto a lightly oiled (grape seed, hemp seed oil, or Udo’s oil) shallow baking pan. Cover and toss the whole thing in the fridge for a little while to harden. When hardened, cut your self some seed & nut bars!! Make’s an awesome energy producing snack! Due to the thickness of the almond or peanut butter, it takes a long time to chew through, you’ll want some water to help wash it down! A general rule is to have equal parts of each ingredient, with perhaps either a little more or a little less of the nut butter to change the density of the bar. You can also add a tiny bit of agave syrup, maple syrup or honey if you have a sweet tooth. You’ll want to store them refrigerated so that they’ll hold up their shape. They’re also great to share with co-workers, maybe you’ll turn someone on to seeds & nuts!! Cheers!

Great article Melanie, sure would be interesting to see how someone could regularly include all those nuts and seeds into their diet but they are certainly good for you.

I guess there is a lot of opportunity if you have a sweet tooth and eat many desserts as these can be topped with almonds etc.

Good idea Barry, will give that a go myself too.

Nuttastic!

Barry,
That’s an excellent breakfast idea. Very well balanced, and I’m sure you feel much fuller than if you just ate a sugary breakfast cereal.
