Best Ever Trail Mix

While preparing and packing for a recent trip to Europe, I put together some healthy snack alternatives for the long 30-hour flight. One of them was this super easy, quick-to-prepare trail mix recipe. It’s definitely a winner! Full of variety and easy to snack on in any environment. I love the mix of nuts combined with the lush dried fruit, especially the sliced pears and Turkish apricots, which make the perfect chewy addition to the mix. I also like to add cacao nibs for a 'chocolatey' hit.

You can easily store this mix in a jar in your cupboard, on your desk at work, or in a paper bag for that 30-hour flight to Europe! ☺

PS: I like to buy organic dried fruit with no added preservatives. The dried apricots may not look as bright, but believe me, they taste a million times better and without the sulphate aftertaste. I usually buy the ‘Macro’ brand organic Turkish apricots and sliced pears here in Australia.

Method

  1. Mix together equal quantities of fruit and nuts, then add the gojis and cacao nibs. I would probably add ½ a cup of each fruit and nut and a couple of tbs of gojis and cacao nibs.
  2. Store in an airtight jar or pack into a brown paper bag for the perfect snack on the go!
