Healthy Trail Mix (Paleo, Plant-Based)

Healthy Trail Mix (Paleo, Plant-Based)

This Healthy Trail Mix contains the perfect combination of tastes and textures. From nutty & crunchy to fruity, chocolatey & chewy–you’ll never get bored of this healthy snack. This trail mix is plant-based, paleo, low-carb & delicious!

Trail mixes make for a great snack when you’re on the go. They’re easy to carry around in a zip-lock bag or small container and the right mix will do a solid job of satisfying a hungry belly in-between meals.

BUT beware … many trail mixes on the grocery store shelves contain nuts that have been roasted at high temperatures, low-quality oils, excess salt, and/or high amounts of sugar from dried fruit.

Since it’s not easy to find a squeaky clean trail mix, I like to make my own. They’re real easy to put together and you have full control over what goes in them. You can get super creative or keep it simple – you’re the boss of your trail mix!

What you need for this Healthy Trail Mix

It’s super easy to put together trail mixes… Just add all ingredients to a bowl or glass container, mix and voila!
