TIPS

 

  • Enhance the flavour: Lightly toast the nuts in a dry skillet for extra crunch and depth of flavour.
  • Choose unsweetened dried fruit: Opt for dried cranberries without sugar to keep the snack healthier.
  • Add variety: Incorporate different nuts like pecans or pistachios for a unique mix.
  • Boost protein: Mix in a few pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for added nutrients.
  • For a savoury touch: Add a pinch of sea salt or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavour boost.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Chocolate Nut Mix: Add a few dark chocolate chips for a slightly indulgent yet healthy treat.
  • Tropical Blend: Swap cranberries for dried pineapple or mango pieces for a tropical twist.
  • Spiced Nut Mix: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, cayenne or nutmeg for a spiced snack.
  • High-Protein Mix: Mix in roasted chickpeas or hemp seeds for extra protein and crunch.
  • Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds instead of nuts for an allergy-friendly alternative.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Storage: Keep the mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • Refrigeration: This is not required but can help preserve freshness in warmer climates.
  • Travel-friendly: Pack in portion-sized resealable bags for easy snacking on the go.
  • Avoid moisture: Store in a dry place to prevent nuts from becoming soft.
