Boost Flavor and Health with a Quick Homemade Seaweed Sprinkle (Our tip)

For an extra punch of flavor and added nutrients, try making a quick seaweed sprinkle to add to your tuna and avocado bowl. Just blend dried nori sheets (the kind used for sushi) with a small pinch of sesame seeds and a tiny bit of chili flakes. This seaweed sprinkle not only adds a hint of umami but also packs in extra minerals like iodine, which supports thyroid health, and antioxidants for overall wellness. Adding a dash of this homemade seasoning to your bowl brings a unique depth of flavor and an exciting crunch that’s sure to elevate your power lunch!
