Paleo Pineapple Lime Trail Mix
Tropical, tangy, and just a little spicy, this trail mix hits every snack craving without a single grain or refined ingredient in sight. Raw almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds get tossed in a bright coating of maple syrup, coconut oil, fresh lime juice, and zest before a quick trip through the oven — the result is a deeply fragrant, lightly caramelized cluster that crisps up beautifully as it cools. Chunks of unsweetened dried pineapple get folded in at the end, so they stay chewy and vibrant rather than drying out in the heat. That contrast of crunchy toasted nuts against soft, sweet pineapple is genuinely addictive. A pinch of cayenne is optional, but it adds a slow, pleasant warmth that makes the lime pop even more. Store-bought trail mixes are notorious for sneaking in oat clusters, soy-coated nuts, or mystery "natural flavors," so making your own means you know exactly what's in the bag. Batch it on a Sunday and you've got a grab-and-go snack that works just as well on a hike as it does at your desk.
