NOTES
If you are on the AIP diet, make these modifications:
- Protein powder – dairy free collagen protein is AIP compliant
- In place of nuts, use Tigernut Flour.
- In place of Tahini, use coconut yogurt.
- Pumpkin seed – easiest to leave it out and add a little more protein powder. But you could use chestnuts.
