Super Seed Mix
Whizz up a batch of this healthy super seed mix to then sprinkle over any meal you like! If you're making it for one person or not sure you'll use it all up within a few weeks, try halving the amounts stated below.
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnut halves
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup flaxseed (see notes on ground v whole)
- ¼ cup hemp seeds (see notes)
- ¼ cup chia seeds (see notes)
Instructions
- Measure each ingredient into a food processor. If you don't have measuring cups, simply use a standard drinking mug (approx. 250 ml, but accuracy isn't too important here).
- Blend for 5 seconds at a time until you have a fine crumble, roughly 10-20 seconds total depending on the power. Be careful not to overdo it or allow the mix to become clumpy.
- Transfer to an airtight jar or container and store in the fridge (see examples of where to use this). I find that the mix is fine for up to a few weeks, but don't use if you notice a sour smell or bitter taste.📸 See recipe FAQ >📖 Table of contents >
Notes
Ground v whole seeds (flax, hemp, chia): The nutrients in these smaller seeds will be more bioavailable in ground form, however they may not blend as easily due to their size. If you want to get the most out of these and you're not sure your food processor will break them down, you can use pre-ground versions.
Ratios: The ratios here should be seen as a rough guideline that you can easily tweak to suit your preferences or available ingredients.
