Bright, tangy, and just a little indulgent, these trail mix cups are the kind of snack that feels like a treat while actually doing something good for you. Toasted pepitas and sunflower seeds bring a satisfying crunch, walnuts add richness, and dark chocolate chips sneak in that hit of bittersweet depth you didn't know a snack cup needed. Fresh kiwi slices layered on top bring a juicy, tropical pop that plays beautifully against the lime zest and juice drizzled over everything. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of wheat, so there's no swapping, substituting, or label-squinting required — just real, whole foods doing their thing. The maple syrup ties the whole mix together with a gentle sweetness that keeps things from tipping into candy territory. Torn mint leaves at the end are optional, but they add a cool, herby finish that makes the whole cup feel almost restaurant-worthy. These come together in minutes and work equally well as an afternoon snack, a light dessert, or something to set out when guests arrive.

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.
