Chef's Note

For a protein boost that still maintains the classic trail mix experience, I've added whey protein powder to this mix. You can customize this recipe by swapping in your favorite nuts or dried fruits, just keep the proportions similar to maintain the macro balance. The light toasting of the oats adds a wonderful nutty flavor that complements the sweet and salty elements.
