Low Iodine Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix

Crunchy, chewy, and just sweet enough, this trail mix hits every texture and flavor note you want from a satisfying snack. Walnuts bring richness and a satisfying bite, while pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds add a toasty, nutty depth that keeps things interesting. A drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon tie everything together with a warm, lightly caramelized coating that makes this feel more like a treat than a health food. Store-bought trail mixes can be tricky territory because many contain iodized salt, dairy-based coatings, or cranberries sweetened with apple juice — all things worth avoiding here. This recipe sidesteps those concerns by calling specifically for cranberries sweetened with sugar or pineapple juice and using fine salt rather than iodized varieties. The dark chocolate chips at 70% cacao or higher round out the mix with a slightly bitter, complex sweetness that pairs beautifully with the tart cranberries. Make a batch and stash it in an airtight container — it keeps at room temperature for up to two weeks, making it a genuinely convenient snack to have on hand.
