Tropical Trail Mix Recipe
Tropical trail mix is the perfect snack. It has a combination of dried fruits, salty nuts and seeds, and crunchy elements for a salty-sweet taste. It’s full of healthy fats, has no added sugar, and is very customizable. Naturally gluten free and dairy free.
Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted macadamia nuts
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes also called coconut chips
- ¾ cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened dried mango cut into small pieces
- ½ cup plantain chips broken in half
- ½ cup freeze-dried fruit broken into smaller pieces
- pinch of salt only if using unsalted nuts
Instructions
- Preheat and prep. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Add the coconut flakes on one side of a half sheet pan and pumpkin seeds on the other, making sure to keep them separate since the coconut requires less baking time.
- Bake. Bake for 3 minutes, stir the coconut flakes and pumpkin seeds and bake for another 3 minutes. Remove the coconut flakes from the oven and continue cooking the seeds for another 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Combine. Add everything to a large bowl and toss everything together until well mixed. Store in an airtight glass jar or reusable silicone bag until ready to eat.
