Apple + PB “nachos”
This is a great snack for any time, and lately it's been one of my favorites.
I originally created this easy-snack in 2019, as a way to introduce my dad to chia seeds and help him to add more fruits into his daily routine. While we initially made it with peanut butter I recently began using sunflower seed butter.
After introducing sunflower seed butter to the students in my classes last year, it became a favorite. I have since recreated my original snack into this allergy-friendly version.
What you need
● Knife
● Cutting board
● Plate
INGREDIENTS
1 Apple
Sunflower seed butter
Optional:
Cinnamon powder
Salt —Better if it’s coarse
Process
Slice the apple into thin rounds to create the "nacho" base. Cut the rest in thin slices.
On a plate, arrange the largest apple slices to form the first layer.
Spread the sunflower seed butter as the second layer, and top it with the smaller apple slices.
Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
● You can add any topping you prefer, such as chia seeds, grounded flaxseed, or walnuts —all of those add some Omega 3 to it, making it a super-snack.
● The toppings in the picture are: cinnamon and cacao nibs.
