Barley Free Classic Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple, but finding a grab-and-go snack that's free from hidden grains can be trickier than it looks — many packaged blends sneak in granola clusters, oat-based add-ins, or malt-flavored coatings that aren't always obvious on the label. This homemade version keeps things clean and straightforward, built entirely from nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and chocolate. The combination of roasted peanuts, cashews, and almonds delivers a satisfying crunch and serious staying power, while the raisins and dried cranberries add a chewy, sweet contrast that keeps every handful interesting. A handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips ties it all together, and the optional M&Ms make it feel just a little bit celebratory. Since you're mixing it yourself, you control every single ingredient — no mystery additives, no grain-based fillers, no guesswork. It comes together in minutes and stores beautifully in an airtight container or pre-portioned snack bags, making it perfect for road trips, hikes, lunchboxes, or just keeping at your desk for the afternoon slump.
