Easy Trail Mix: The Perfect Healthy Snack for Any Time of Day

Looking for the perfect healthy snack that’s packed with energy, crunch, and flavour? This easy trail mix recipe is the ideal balance of protein, fibre, and natural sweetness, making it a great choice for busy mornings, post-workout fuel, or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Forget the store-bought versions loaded with added sugar—this homemade mix is completely customisable, allowing you to add your favourite nuts, seeds, and dried fruit for a nutrient-dense snack that keeps you satisfied. Whether you’re heading out for a hike or just need a quick bite on the go, this healthy trail mix is a must-try.

Since we have been homeschooling, the kids are making regular trips to the fridge during “break time”.  I was looking for some healthy snack ideas to keep them going. As we are at home, this is the perfect excuse to have something with nuts.

Rummaging I found a whole selection of half-eaten nut, seed and dry fruit packets. So I decided to combine them into a tasty trail mix.

The ingredients below are what I had in my kitchen. Do not feel bound by them and throw in whatever you find in your cupboards. I like adding coconut shavings but these are completely optional.

Once made, this trail mix will keep for weeks in an airtight jar or container.
