My Favourite Trail Mix
 

{Original post published April 19, 2021}

I’m super into trail mix these days! ...Not that I’ve been hitting many trails lately. But it looks pretty sitting on my desk at work 🤓

Here’s my favourite “formula” for trail mix that I taught at my healthy snack workshop last week. The sky is the limit in terms of combos!

Trail Mix Formula

* 4 parts nuts and seeds (almonds, pecans, peanuts, cashews, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, macadamia nuts, etc.)

* 2 parts dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, goji berries, blueberries, mangoes, pineapple, apricots, cherries, apples, mulberries)

* 2 parts something crunchy (coconut chips, roasted chickpeas, banana chips, popcorn, granola/cereal)

* Optional: 1 part something chocolatey (chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, cacao nibs, chocolate covered coffee beans)

My current mix: 

1 cup Almonds

1 cup pecans

½ c Dried Goji berries

½ c Dried Cherries

1 c Roasted Coconut Chips

¼ c Dark Chocolate Chunks
