Bright, tangy, and satisfying in the best possible way, these little cups bring together toasted seeds, walnuts, dark chocolate, and coconut in a base that's genuinely good for your gut. Pumpkin seeds and walnuts are both rich in fiber and healthy fats, and pairing them with fresh kiwi — one of the most gut-supportive fruits around — makes this feel intentional rather than accidental. The lime zest and fresh juice cut through the richness of the nuts and chocolate, keeping every bite lively and balanced. Toasting the pepitas and sunflower seeds in a dry skillet takes just a few minutes but adds a depth of flavor that makes the whole mix taste far more considered than your average handful of trail mix. A drizzle of maple syrup ties everything together with just enough sweetness, while the torn mint on top adds a fresh, cooling finish. These cups come together quickly and work just as well as a midday snack as they do a light dessert — no baking, no fuss, just real ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do.

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.
