This quick to make, nutritious and protein and fibre filled snack will become a favourite to whip up whenever you feel the need for something salty & crunchy. An excellent alternative to bread.

This classic recipe has been given a new twist by my friend Anne Noonan from Yoga Forever by adding chia seeds and spices. Anne is the queen of improvisation in the kitchen!! Once you get the basic recipe down pat you can add or delete ingredients. So you could remove the tumeric and garlic powders and add in cranberries, which Anne often does! Sometimes she makes it only on coconut oil and no eggs making it suitable for vegans. So let your imagination go wild. It is delicious with a smear of butter or avocado and is an excellent with a crisp salad for lunch.

Note, if you suffer from diverticulitis or IBS I would recommend soaking the nuts and seeds overnight to make them softer and easier to digest.
