Trail mix is a great snack for on-the-go outdoor enthusiasts like myself. I’ll often eat a small amount to fuel up for a hike, or another outdoor activity because it’s an energy boosting treat that’s quick, tasty and portable. Making my own trail mix also allows me to control the ingredients and therefore the amount of calories and nutrition I get with each serving.

This coconut cashew version is simply a combination of nuts, seeds and dried fruit and what’s fun about it is that you can mix and match ingredients for a different taste every time. Have fun with it and pin this recipe to refer to later on. Enjoy!
