Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, these trail mix cups are the kind of snack that feels indulgent without any of the guilt. Toasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds bring a satisfying crunch, while walnut halves, dark chocolate chips, and shredded coconut round out the base with richness and depth. A drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of salt tie everything together before the real showstopper arrives — fresh kiwi slices glossed with lime zest, lime juice, and a touch more maple syrup. The citrus topping cuts right through the nuttiness and chocolate, making each bite feel refreshingly alive. Torn mint leaves finish the whole thing off with a cool, herby lift that makes these cups feel almost fancy. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from seafood and fish derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. These come together quickly and work beautifully as an afternoon snack, a light dessert, or even a colorful addition to a brunch spread.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the trail mix

½ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
½ cup walnut halves
¼ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup dark chocolate chips (>70% cacao)
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tbsp maple syrup
¼ tsp fine salt

For the topping

4 medium kiwi fruits, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 tsp lime zest (from about 1 lime)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp maple syrup

For serving

1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, torn (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds and toast, stirring frequently, until the pumpkin seeds are puffed and lightly golden, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely, as the seeds can brown quickly.
2
Transfer the toasted seeds to a mixing bowl and let cool for 2 minutes. Add the walnut halves, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, maple syrup, and salt. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
