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
- 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.
- Store in an airtight jar or pack into a brown paper bag for the perfect snack on the go!
