Macadamia Free Pineapple Lime Trail Mix

Tropical, tangy, and just a little bit addictive, this trail mix hits every note you want from a snack — sweet, salty, citrusy, and with an optional kick of heat from cayenne. Almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds get tossed in a maple syrup and coconut oil glaze brightened with fresh lime juice and zest, then roasted low and slow until golden and fragrant. The magic happens as the mix cools on the pan, the coating crisping up into a light, satisfying crunch that store-bought bags rarely manage to pull off. Chewy chunks of unsweetened dried pineapple get folded in after baking so they stay soft and jammy against all that toasty crunch — a textural combo that's genuinely hard to stop eating. Many packaged trail mixes lean heavily on macadamia nuts, which can be tricky to avoid when you're shopping in a hurry, so making your own batch at home puts you fully in control of every ingredient. It comes together in under 20 minutes of active effort and stores beautifully in an airtight container, making it an easy win for lunchboxes, road trips, or afternoon snacking.
