Description

A delicious and healthy snack packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients. Perfect for on-the-go munching or as a topping for yogurt and cereals.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (toasted or spiced)
  • ½ cup raw pistachios
  • ½ cup dried cherries or cranberries
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Arrange the raw almonds evenly on a baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through, until fragrant and slightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  3. Let the almonds cool and chop them into coarse pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, pistachios, dried cherries or cranberries, and dark chocolate chips. Stir well.
  5. Transfer the trail mix to an airtight container for storage; it can be kept at room temperature for up to five days.

Notes

For a sweeter blend, consider adding honey or maple syrup to nuts before baking. You can make a nut-free version by replacing nuts with seeds or cereals.
