I have eaten more McTaco King over the past eight months than I have in all my 28 years of existence. I know fast food is horrible for me and for the planet; I feel like poop approximately 7 seconds after consumption, and I pretty much hate myself for the next 24 hours…yet I continue finding myself muttering “yes, I’ll take fries with that.” My excuses for this behavior don’t really matter. The fact is that I’m a nursing mama and I still get very little sleep; good nutrition is paramount to my survival. I need to make a change, and I need to make it yesterday. Over the past month I have been trying to solve this little pickle with one uber important solution: having snacks on hand, at all times. I’ve gone through the yooj: carrot sticks, apples and peanut butter, blah, blah, blah; but I’ve also made several batches of this recipe for a nutty little power snack that always leaves me feeling…dare I say Princess Valhalla Hawkwind-esque? Yes. Definitely, yes.
Here are some of the oh-so-delicious in a spicy/savory/yet sweet enough for a sugar craving ingredients:
Yummy nuttiness gearing up for a little wake-n’-bake
Sealed and ready for on-the-go snacking
The recipe yields precisely enough to fill one quart mason jar, your hand, and either one reusable snack bag, or a couple of empty baby food jars. I’m curious to know what sorts of snacks you like to gnaw on? Until next time, I’ll leave you with a few parting words from our beloved heroine to send you on your way:
Hear my song of sacrifice,
I answer to your call with will of Ice.
Revenge of vice,
I rise and shall not fail!
Halla!

Dad and I think the Nutty Power Snack is really yummy and crunchy good!
I made this last night. Yum! Such a quick easy recipe.
Isn’t it the best? I make a batch every week and a half or so…ahem…sometimes more than that.
So glad you tried it!

We love eating blue corn tortilla chips with cottage cheese. Sooo good, my husband is hooked.
What an interesting pairing! I will definitely have to give that a try because I love each of those separately. Thanks for the tip!
