TIPS

  • Nut Selection: Use raw or lightly toasted almonds for the best texture and nutritional benefits. Avoid salted nuts if you want a lower sodium option.
  • Balanced Flavour: Ensure a good mix of nuts, seeds and dried fruit to achieve the right balance of crunch, sweetness, and richness.
  • Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from softening the nuts and seeds.
  • Portion Control: Divide the mix into small servings in snack-sized bags to prevent overeating and make it more convenient for meal prep.
  • Melt-Free Option: If storing in warm conditions, replace chocolate chips with cacao nibs or carob chips to prevent melting.

VARIATIONS

  • Nut-Free Version: Replace almonds with pumpkin seeds or coconut flakes for a school-safe, allergy-friendly mix.
  • Extra Protein: Add roasted chickpeas or protein-packed nuts like cashews and pistachios.
  • Dried Fruit Mix: Swap raisins for dried cranberries, chopped dates, or apricots for a different sweetness profile.
  • Sweet & Salty: Add a pinch of sea salt or mix in pretzels for a savoury twist.
  • Spiced Up: Toss with a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cayenne pepper for added depth of flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month for the freshest taste.
  • Room Temperature: Keep in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks in a sealed bag or container.
  • Freezing: Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months for extended shelf life.
