Chef's Note
For an extra protein boost without changing the flavor profile, I've incorporated whey protein powder into the oat mixture. Toasting the oats with honey creates a delicious crunch, while keeping the mix lower in fat than traditional trail mixes. You can store this in an airtight container for up to a week.
