  • Add the Protein Boost: Stir in dried edible insects of your choice for extra crunch and a high-protein upgrade. We suggest either dried edible crickets or edible mealworms or an edible insect mix.
  • Optional additional seasoning: If you want add more flavour, you can add  bold flavors like chili, smoked paprika, cumin, or garlic. A light dusting of spice helps tie everything together. 
  • Mix & Match: Try different ratios depending on how prominent you want the insect flavor to be—start small and adjust.
