Artificial Flavors Free Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix
Trail mix sounds simple until you start reading labels — most store-bought versions are loaded with artificial flavors, mystery "natural" seasonings, and cranberries pumped full of high-fructose corn syrup. This version keeps everything clean and intentional, from the walnuts and pepitas down to the dried cranberries, which are specifically sweetened with sugar or pineapple juice rather than anything synthetic. A drizzle of real maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon do all the heavy lifting in the flavor department, coating every nut and seed in something genuinely delicious. The dark chocolate chips — 70% cacao or higher — add a rich, slightly bitter edge that balances the tart cranberries beautifully. It comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, making it one of the easiest snacks you can prep ahead. Store it in an airtight container and you've got a satisfying, grab-and-go option ready for up to two weeks.
