contains nuts and sesame
There was a time when we’d feel seedy from a big night out – but these days, we love rolling around in pumpkin and sunflower seeds and whatever else we can get our hands on…okay, not quite.
But if you make this, you’ll feel pretty virtuous every time you reach for this big jar of goodness. This makes a generous four cups, so trust us, it will last. Use it to accompany fruit and yoghurt, stir through a grain-free porridge, or reach for it when you struggle to make a vegetable exciting. This week we tossed a handful through steamed broccoli and again through a beetroot slaw. Easy!
Note – you can play around with the quantities here – this is just a guide.

- 1 cup - almonds
- 1/2cup - pumpkin seeds

- Leave to cool before processing into rough chunks.
