Sweet & Spicy Trail Mix

This is the most delicious trail mix I have ever tasted. I soaked and dehydrated the nuts and seeds which increased the availability of the nutrients and removed the enzyme inhibitors as well as some of the phytic acid (anti-nutrients). I then added some flax seeds, shredded coconut, stevia, Himalayan salt and cayenne pepper. Yummmmmy!

Soak for 24 hours

Almonds

Walnuts

Soak for 8 hours

Pumpkin Seeds

Sunflower Seeds

Then add

Shredded coconut

flaxseeds

Cayenne pepper

Himalayan Salt

Stevia

And dehydrate for 24 hours or so. Enjoy!!
