Trail mix sounds simple, but finding a grab-and-go snack that actually works for a sensitive gut is harder than it looks — most store-bought versions are loaded with honey, high-fructose corn syrup, or dried fruit sweetened with apple juice, all of which can trigger symptoms. This version keeps things clean by using cranberries sweetened with sugar or pineapple juice, a small drizzle of maple syrup well within safe thresholds, and a carefully measured portion of walnuts that stays right at the Monash limit. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds round out the mix with satisfying crunch and a solid hit of healthy fats, while dark chocolate chips at 70% cacao or higher add just enough richness to make this feel like a treat rather than a compromise. A pinch of cinnamon and salt tie everything together in a way that's genuinely craveable. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, and it stores at room temperature for up to two weeks — making it ideal for meal prep, road trips, or keeping a stash at your desk. Each of the eight servings is about a third of a cup, so portioning is easy and you always know exactly what you're getting.
