Notes
Other higher protein, lower fat options include crunchy roasted chickpeas, green peas, lentils, sesame or hemp seeds, and other roasted legumes and seeds.
You can also tweak ratios for better macros. More edamame and pumpkin seeds + fewer cashews and pistachios = more protein and less fat.
Try experimenting with different flavors. For example, wasabi roasted peas + toasted sesame seeds + chili roasted pistachios. Or honey roasted nuts + chili roasted pistachios for a sweet and salty combo.
