Creating a light and healthy snack for travelers or camping can be both convenient and delicious. Here’s a simple recipe for a nutritious superfood trail mix:

Nutty Trail Mix

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw almonds
• 1 cup raw walnuts
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 1 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened)
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

1. Prep Ingredients: If your nuts and seeds are not already roasted, you can roast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until they are lightly toasted. Allow them to cool completely before assembling the trail mix.
2. Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine the almonds, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, dark chocolate chips, and coconut flakes. If desired, you can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon and a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.
3. Store: Transfer the trail mix to an airtight container or resealable bags for easy transport.
4. Enjoy: Pack small portions of the trail mix into individual snack bags or containers for on-the-go enjoyment during travel or camping. It’s a perfect snack to fuel your adventures with healthy fats, protein, and a touch of sweetness.

This nutty trail mix is not only satisfying but also provides a good balance of nutrients to keep you energized throughout your travels or outdoor activities. Plus, it’s customizable, so feel free to add or substitute ingredients based on your preferences and dietary needs.
