Ingredients
- 2 cups roasted cashews unsalted
- 2 cups sliced almonds
- 2 cups freeze-dried strawberries
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks (I used 70%)
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in a large bowl or container and toss to combine.
Notes
- Use unsalted nuts to keep this trail mix low sodium.
- This healthy trail mix recipe will keep well for up to 1 month stored in an air-tight container. However, the strawberries may lose some of their crunch so if you plan to store it for a while, I recommend adding the strawberries in right before serving to keep them nice and crisp.
- Enjoy for breakfast, or add to lunchboxes for a healthy snack.
- If you can't find freeze-dried fruit, you can use other dried fruit like raisins or cranberries.
- Dark chocolate has the greatest health benefits, although you can use milk or white chocolate if you prefer.
