Asian Kamut Protein Snack Mix


Asian Kamut Protein Snack Mix
Asian Kamut Protein Snack Mix

2 cups puffed kamut
1/2 cup shelled edamame (dried)
2 t wasabi powder
1/2 scoop unflavored whey protein powder
1 T furikake seasoning*
1-2 T toasted sesame seeds
1/4-1/2 t sea salt**
1/2 t granulated stevia
1 egg white, beaten till frothy
1/2 package Trader Joe's roasted seaweed snack

Put kamut and edamame in a medium bowl. Mix wasabi, protein powder, furikake, sesame seeds, salt and stevia together in a small bowl. Pour egg white over kamut and edamame and mix with spoon to cover. Add small bowl of seasonings and stir to mix well. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake in 325 oven for 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and break apart. Place back in over for another 10 minutes or so. Remove from oven. Let cool.

While mix cools, cut seaweed snacks first in thin strips then cut strips in 3-4 pieces. When mix is cool put in serving dish with seaweed and mix together with hands.

*Furikake seasoning is rice seasoning made with seaweed and other ingredients. Very tasty on rice too!
**Snack gets saltier when it bakes so be sure not to oversalt. (That's my little lesson learned.)

Pretty good nutrient breakdown too! Try it if you want to! If you're a crunchy salty lover, you'll LOVE this!
