Chef's Note

For maximum freshness, store this trail mix in an airtight container for up to one week. The protein powder not only adds nutrition but creates a light coating that helps the spices stick to the nuts and seeds. If you prefer a sweeter mix, you can add a teaspoon of maple syrup instead of honey.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almonds

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a medium bowl, mix 1/4 cup almonds, 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, and 1 cup air-popped popcorn.

    Spread the mixture on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
