Brazil Nut Free Kiwi Lime Trail Mix Cups
These little cups are a genuinely exciting way to snack — toasted pepitas and sunflower seeds get tossed with walnuts, dark chocolate chips, and shredded coconut, then sweetened just enough with maple syrup and a pinch of salt. The result is crunchy, a little indulgent, and completely satisfying without leaning on any of the usual store-bought trail mix suspects that can hide risky ingredients in the mix. Fresh kiwi slices layered on top bring a bright, juicy contrast to all that toasty richness, and the lime zest and juice drizzle ties everything together with a citrusy punch that feels almost tropical. It's the kind of snack that looks impressive in a cup but comes together in under ten minutes with one skillet and a couple of bowls. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source, so you're not left squinting at labels or second-guessing what's actually in your food. Torn fresh mint is optional, but if you have it on hand, don't skip it — it makes the whole thing feel a little more special.
