This Super Nut and Seed Sprinkle is packed with goodness from nuts, seeds, herbs and spices as well as mushrooms, legumes and other ingredients making it full of over 25 different plant points – great for sprinkling over meals.

Plant points are a new way to track what we are eating and it’s something I love, as it’s about celebrating diversity in the foods we eat. Adding in different nuts and seeds every day as well as mushroom powders, herbs and spices all create more variety in our diets which means we are nourishing our bodies with a whole host of goodness. A brand called Zoe recently launched a sprinkle mix which inspired this homemade version. While the ingredient list may seem long, everything is optional, and you can use what you have to hand. Nuts, seeds and herbs are all interchangeable, they key is diversity so use as many different varieties as you can.

What ingredients do I need?

You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card below and see my “shop the recipe” section for my favourites and recommended products.

For the sprinkle:

Nuts: for this recipe I use walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, Brazil nus, cashews, pistachios and macadamia but use your favourites.
Seeds: use you preferred mix of seeds but I like a ready made mix of pumpkin, sunflower, flax, white and black sesame seeds and then I add hemp and chia seeds.
Quinoa: this adds fibre and protein while adding crunch (use the white or mixed quinoa, raw).
Dried herbs and spices: I love using a mix of whole fennel and cumin seeds, dried thyme, oregano, chilli flakes with salt and pepper. The flavour is amazing but feel free to play around.
Nori flakes: these are so good for you and without adding too much flavour. They are optional but I highly recommend.
Nutritional yeast: to add umami richness and flavour. This is also optional.
Roasted beans/legumes: these are easy to find in the shops and usually come as a mix with beans, chickpeas, edamame etc. Look for ones which are 100% beans/legumes or with only a little salt and olive oil.
Mushroom adaptogenic powders: these are more tailored to the individual and are not essential to make this recipe (I know they are expensive and not everyone has them). I like to add lion’s mane for brain function, tremella for skin health and reishi for the nervous system. I love the range from Dirtea which you can see here and shop with my discount.

Is this gluten-free and nut-free?

This is naturally gluten-free and to make it nut-free, swap all of the nuts for more seeds.

How do I make this?

This is ready in a few steps:

Add most of the ingredients to a roasting tray: and spread out.
Roast for 10 minutes in the oven: until golden and toasty.
Allow to cool fully: in the tray.
Sprinkle over the other ingredients: and transfer to a food processor or blender (AMY15 for 15% off).
Pulse lightly to form a light crumble: do not overmix as it will turn clumpy and try to a form a nut/seed butter texture.
Transfer into sealable jars: and allow to cool if the mix has heated up again.
Seal tightly: and enjoy!
