Chef's Note

For the best flavor, toast the nuts and seeds until they're just golden - they'll continue cooking slightly after you remove them from the oven. The protein powder not only boosts the nutritional profile but also adds a subtle sweetness that complements the dried fruit. Feel free to customize with your favorite nuts and dried fruits, just be mindful of adjusting quantities to maintain the macro balance.

  • 1 tsp coconut oil

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

  • 1 tsp maple syrup

Instructions
  • 1

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

  • 2

    Chop 10g of almonds and 10g of walnuts into smaller pieces and place in a medium bowl.

  • 3

    Add 5g of pumpkin seeds and 15g of rolled oats to the bowl with the nuts.

  • 4

    In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 tsp of coconut oil (about 15 seconds).

  • 5

    Add 1 tsp of maple syrup, 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon to the melted coconut oil and stir to combine.

  • 6

    Pour the oil mixture over the nuts, seeds, and oats. Add 1/8 tsp of sea salt and toss until everything is evenly coated.

  • 7

    Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly toasted and fragrant.

  • 8

    While the nuts are toasting, chop 15g of dried apricots into small pieces.

  • 9

    Remove the toasted mixture from the oven and let cool completely (about 10 minutes).

  • 10

    Once cooled, transfer to a mixing bowl and add 15g of dried cranberries, the chopped dried apricots, and 10g of dried apple chips.

  • 11

    In a separate small bowl, measure out 15g of whey protein isolate.

  • 12

    Gradually sprinkle the protein powder over the trail mix while gently tossing to coat the ingredients evenly.

  • 13

    Store in an airtight container or portion into a single serving in a small ziplock bag for on-the-go snacking.
