Chef's Note
This protein-packed trail mix is perfect for on-the-go snacking. The protein powder adds a sweet flavor while boosting the protein content. For best results, make sure the mixture is completely cool before adding the protein powder to prevent clumping. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
