Mustard Free Cranberry Walnut Trail Mix
Trail mix sounds simple until you start reading labels — spice blends, flavored nuts, and even some chocolate chips can hide surprising additives that make snacking stressful. This version keeps everything clean and straightforward, built around walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds tossed in real maple syrup with cinnamon and a pinch of salt. The result is a deeply satisfying mix of crunch, warmth, and just enough sweetness to feel like a treat rather than a compromise. Tart dried cranberries (sweetened simply with sugar or pineapple juice, no sketchy syrups) and rich dark chocolate chips round out every handful with bold, contrasting flavors. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, and it stores at room temperature for up to two weeks — perfect for meal prepping snacks ahead of a busy stretch. Portion it into small containers for grab-and-go ease, or keep a big batch on the counter for whenever hunger strikes.
