Shellfish Free Kiwi Lime Trail Mix Cups
Bright, tangy, and just a little indulgent, these trail mix cups are the kind of snack that feels way more special than the effort involved. Toasted pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds bring a satisfying crunch, while walnut halves and dark chocolate chips add richness and depth — all pulled together with a touch of maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Fresh kiwi slices layered on top get a drizzle of lime zest, lime juice, and a hint more maple syrup, which cuts through the nuttiness with a zippy, citrusy brightness. A scatter of torn mint leaves finishes each cup with a pop of freshness that makes the whole thing feel almost restaurant-worthy. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from shellfish and ocean-derived products, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just straightforward, whole-food snacking. These are great for meal-prepped afternoon snacks, post-workout fuel, or a light dessert that doesn't feel like a compromise.
