High-protein vegan apple crumble

Thanks to the oats and seeds, this apple crumble isn’t just tasty; it’s also high in protein. And there’s more! The recipe includes tahini, which is high in monounsaturated fats, and linseeds, which are rich in polyunsaturated fats. Fats like these help your body better absorb Omega-3, making this dessert the perfect pairing with your Omega-3 supplements.

This vegan apple crumble is also a fantastic source of vitamins A, C, B12, B, and E. Now, let’s get to the best part—how to make this nutritious and delicious dessert!
