Adding nutritious additions to your plant meals is an easy way to boost the vitamin and protein content, and this super delicious tamari crispy quinoa and seed mix is my absolute fave. Some other ideas for nutrient boosting are: Throw some tinned beans into your salads for extra fibre and protein Add a drizzle of tahini or a spoon of peanut butter to your smoothies, sauces and dressings and for healthy fats and vitamins Seaweed! Crumble a crispy seaweed snack over your noodles, add wakame to your salads or kombu to your soups for extra iron, omega-3 and antioxidants. Makes 8 servings of 2 tbspAbout 8.5g protein / serving
