Substitutions and Variations

Try some nuts: Any kind of salted or unsalted roasted nuts would also be good if you want to add those as well.

Top Tips

Bite-sized ingredients: If you have dried apple halves, it’s best to cut them into smaller pieces so they mix with the trail mix better.
Nice and spicy: Add in some hot pepper flakes, chili flakes, or cayenne pepper if you want a touch of heat to contrast with the rest of the ingredients.
Control the salt levels: You can choose from salted or unsalted seeds, as you prefer. If using unsalted, you might want to add a pinch of salt to the mix.
Store it in individual portions: Use silicone Stasher bags, glass jars or zip-top sandwich bags to make individual servings because it’s too easy to over-eat this tasty trail mix!

How to Store Coastal Medley Trail Mix

Store:  Keep the trail mix in a mason jar, Stasher silicone bag or a plastic airtight container in a dark and cool place. You can refrigerate it if you want but that isn’t necessary. This trail mix should keep for up to a month.
Freeze:  This recipe doesn’t freeze well, so don’t make more than you plan to eat.
