An outrageous blend of nuts, soybeans, and spices makes a supercharged snack that provides an energy boost. Don't be put off by the number of ingredients — the mix takes just 5 minutes to put together. We recommend packing small amounts of the cooled mixture into resealable bags for quick grab-and-go snacks. Roasted edamame is available at supermarkets and specialty stores. If you can't find it, just add more of any other nut to make 5 cups. This recipe makes 20 servings.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons Ground ginger

2 teaspoons Ground cumin

2 teaspoons Salt

1 teaspoon Chili powder

1/4 teaspoon Ground cloves

2 Large egg whites

1 cup Unsalted soy nuts

1 cup Roasted edamame

1 cup Pecan pieces

1 cup Walnut pieces

1 cup Raw almonds

1/4 cup Granular sugar substitute

Preparation

Preheat oven to 225° F. In a small bowl, add first 6 ingredients and blend. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Whisk in spice mixture. Add nuts and sugar substitute; toss to coat.

Evenly divide nut mixture between two nonstick baking sheets, preferably with sides. (If sheets are not nonstick, line them with parchment paper.) Spread nuts to evenly cover sheets. Bake 1 hour 5 minutes, until nuts are dry and toasted. Stir every 20 minutes. Cool on baking sheet.
