Xanthan Gum Free Classic Trail Mix

Trail mix is one of those snacks that sounds simple but can hide surprising additives when you grab a pre-made bag off the shelf — thickeners and stabilizers sometimes sneak into coated nuts, flavored seeds, or candy pieces. This version keeps things refreshingly straightforward, built entirely from whole nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and chocolate. Roasted peanuts, cashews, and almonds bring satisfying crunch and protein, while sunflower seeds add a subtle earthiness that rounds out the mix beautifully. Sweet-tart raisins and dried cranberries balance the savory nuts, and the semi-sweet chocolate chips tie everything together with just the right hit of richness. Tossing in M&Ms makes it feel a little more festive and is totally worth it for a crowd or a long hike. Everything comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, making it an effortless snack to batch-prep and portion out for the week.
