Capsaicin Free Pineapple Lime Trail Mix
Tropical, tangy, and satisfyingly crunchy, this trail mix is the kind of snack that disappears fast. Almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds get tossed in a bright coating of maple syrup, coconut oil, fresh lime juice, and lime zest before a quick roast in the oven brings out their natural richness. Once cooled, chewy chunks of unsweetened dried pineapple get folded in for a sweet, fruity contrast that makes every handful feel like a little vacation. The recipe calls for cayenne as a fully optional add-in, so you can simply leave it out and still get a deeply flavorful mix with zero heat — no substitutions or workarounds needed. That makes it a genuinely easy win for anyone avoiding capsaicin, since the lime and maple do all the heavy lifting on flavor. A short bake time and one mixing bowl mean this comes together with minimal effort, and it stores beautifully in an airtight container for snacking all week long.
