Nitrate & Nitrite Free Classic Trail Mix

Trail mix sounds simple, but the ingredient list matters more than most people realize — especially when you're trying to avoid preservatives like sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite that sneak into dried fruits and processed snacks. This version keeps things clean by leaning on whole nuts, seeds, and naturally dried fruit, so you're not fighting a label-reading battle at the store. The combination of roasted peanuts, cashews, and almonds delivers a satisfying crunch and a solid hit of protein, while raisins and dried cranberries bring natural sweetness without the additives. Semi-sweet chocolate chips round everything out with just enough indulgence to make this feel like a treat rather than a compromise. It comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, which makes it perfect for meal prepping snack bags at the start of the week. Toss in the M&Ms if you want a little extra color and fun — just check the package if you're being especially careful about additives. Whether you're packing it for a hike, a road trip, or an afternoon at your desk, this mix hits every note you want from a grab-and-go snack.
