Celery Free Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix
Trail mix sounds simple until you realize how many store-bought versions sneak in unexpected additives, preservatives, or mystery seasonings that can complicate a clean ingredient list. This version keeps everything straightforward and genuinely delicious — walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds get tossed with maple syrup, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt before dark chocolate chips and tart dried cranberries round out the mix. The maple syrup coating gives every handful a subtle caramelized warmth that makes this feel far more intentional than your average grab-and-go snack. Choosing dried cranberries sweetened with sugar or pineapple juice rather than apple juice keeps the ingredient list clean and predictable. Dark chocolate at 70% cacao or higher adds a rich, slightly bitter contrast that balances the sweetness of the fruit beautifully. It comes together in one bowl with no baking required, and stored in an airtight container it stays fresh for up to two weeks — perfect for meal prepping snacks for the whole week ahead.
