Real Healthy Trail Mix
Trail mix is my favorite vacation food.
Andrew plays caveman on a hike on Mt. San Jacinto.
It’s perfect to throw into your bag for a road trip or airplane ride.
The problem with store bought trail mix lurks in the fine print on the back of the package.
Added sugar, chemicals and preservatives spoil even the most natural trail mix brands.
This Real Healthy Trail Mix takes only the most pure and healthy ingredients and toasts them into sweet perfection.
1 teaspoon Chia Seeds plus 3 Tablespoons filtered water
2 tablespoons raw honey, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 cup sliced almonds, raw and unsalted
1 cup Raw Pecans, unsalted
1 cup pistachio nutmeats, unsalted
1 cup Dried Blueberries, unsweetened
½ cup sesame seeds
1 cup large Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
Mix the chia seeds and water in a small cup and set aside for 15 minutes, until it becomes gel-like.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Generously grease a baking pan with coconut oil.
In a small bowl combine the honey, extracts, coconut oil and chia seed mixture.
In a large bowl combine the nuts, berries, seeds and coconut flakes. Mix in the wet ingredients until well combined.
Spread over the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stir, and then bake for another 10 minutes until evenly golden.
