Nuts & seeds are rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Consuming them on a daily basis aid in digestion & heart health. We all know how important protein consumption is, but fiber is just as important!
Nuts are a great source of daily fiber as well as beans, lentils, leafy greens, berries, and avocado.
Today I’m showing you an easy and delicious recipe to keep on hand for a savory or sweet topper and of course, for snacking!
I’ve used mine on a salad, in a wrap, on a sandwich, over cottage cheese/yogurt, and on ice cream. It’s absolutely delicious!

Instructions
