Okay I am trying to be in my prep week, but am experiencing major struggles to avoid all sugar after my splurge during the holidays. I wanted to also put together some snack packs that my daughter can grab on her way to school. She does not eat breakfast and rarely eats lunch. I realized that since she has started her "vegetarian diet" she eats very little protein, thus the nuts that were raw. I figure she would not eat them unless they were at least roasted. I couldn't find a recipe that I liked so I made my own. It does have honey, but I would have used agave nectar if I was not out.

Honey Roasted Nuts

Roast 1-2 cups raw mixed nuts at 400 for 7-8 minutes (do not overcook)

While roasting nuts in sauce pan warm 2T of oil (I made a blend but coconut would be great), add 1-2T of agave nectar or honey, 1/4-1/2t of mustard powder or mustard, 2-3 drops of hot sauce (more if you want spicy), grated fresh or ground ginger, salt and pepper to taste

Remove nuts from oven add 1T seseme seed, 1/2T of poppy seeds. 2T pumpkin seeds these will toast lightly on the hot pan, sprinkle with grated fresh or ground nutmeg.

Drizzle with sauce, mix together, then transfer to paper towels to absorb excess oil. Eat hot or when cool store in container for no more than a few days or freeze and reheat

I really don't measure when I cook so you'll need to use your best judgement based on the amount of nuts and your personal taste, experiment it is fun. Since the nuts and seed's protein helps with the glycemic index, you reduce the insulin spike and nuts also have magnesium which is in one of the keys of the Ultramind solution. They really are a good choice. Of course you can make them without the honey or agave nectar too.

This sauce could also be used for grilled chicken (homemade buffalo sauce just add some paprika and turmeric) or fish (especially salmon). It fully complies on phase II of Ultrametabolism when agave nectar is allowed and after stabilizing on the Ultramind for an occasional treat.
