Deluxe Trail Mix
Eight ingredients, no candy coating, no filler. This is trail mix that tastes like the sum of its parts, which are all genuinely good parts.
What It Is
Raisins, dates, and dried apple bring the sweetness here, so none of it comes from added sugar. The nuts are dry roasted peanuts, almonds, and walnuts, rounded out with sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds for a little extra crunch and heft.
The date pieces are coated lightly in oat flour to keep them from clumping. Everything is organic and non-GMO. The one caution worth noting: dates occasionally contain a pit fragment, so bite with some awareness.
What To Do
Eat it as-is, by the handful. It holds up in a bag, a lunchbox, or a car without any fuss. A quarter cup is a satisfying snack; a half cup alongside something with protein makes a real quick meal.
It also works stirred into oatmeal, scattered over yogurt, or roughly chopped into a cookie or muffin batter. Store it in a cool, dry spot in an airtight container. It keeps well for several weeks at room temperature and longer in the fridge.
