Measure Pumpkin Seeds.
Using a kitchen scale, measure out 0.7 ounces (about 20 grams) of pumpkin seeds. This amount contributes healthy fats and protein to your trail mix.
Tip: If you don't have a scale, roughly use a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin seeds. -
Measure Raisins.
Next, measure 0.9 ounces (about 25 grams) of raisins. Raisins add natural sweetness and carbohydrates to your mix.
Tip: Choose seedless raisins for easier snacking. -
Measure Cashews.
Now measure 0.7 ounces (about 20 grams) of cashews. Cashews provide creamy texture and healthy fats.
Tip: Use unsalted cashews to control sodium intake. -
Combine Ingredients.
In a small bowl or container, combine the pumpkin seeds, raisins, and cashews. Mix gently to evenly distribute all ingredients.
Tip: Mixing well ensures each bite has a balanced flavor and texture. -
Serve or Store.
Your trail mix is ready to enjoy immediately or can be stored in an airtight container for later snacking.
Tip: Portion the mix into small resealable bags for convenient on-the-go snacks.
Pro tips
- Toast pumpkin seeds and cashews lightly in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes to enhance flavor before mixing.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few dark chocolate chips for extra taste variety.
