Toast trail mix - You will begin by toasting any raw nuts and seeds. Season them with cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt or just sea salt for a savory version. Toast them for 10 minutes at 350ºF. After you remove them from the oven, allow them to cool completely.
Mix Ins - Now it's time to mix in any dried fruit, raisins and chocolate.
Storage - Store the mix in an airtight container for up to a month.

Savory additions - Add pretzels, rye crackers, popcorn or pre-roasted nuts (such as peanuts) to your mix. Try adding pistachios or hazelnuts to your next trail mix.
Sweet additions - Add candy (I love M&Ms or Reese's Pieces), chocolate covered pretzels or chocolate covered cherries. For dried fruit, try adding coconut flakes, banana chips, mangos or dried blueberries to your mix. In addition to chocolate chips, try white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips.
Cereal - It's common to add cereals such as granola or Cheerios to a trail mix. Try our homemade granola or paleo granola recipe.
