# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You control every ingredient, so no more picking out the stuff you don't like.
  • It takes less time than brewing coffee and costs a fraction of store-bought versions.
  • Every handful tastes different depending on what you grab, which keeps snacking interesting.
  • It actually keeps you full instead of leaving you hungry twenty minutes later.
02 -
  • If you add the chocolate chips while the nuts are still warm from toasting, they'll melt everywhere, so let everything cool completely first.
  • Dried fruit can clump together in humid weather, so give the container a good shake before scooping.
  • Portion sizes matter more than you think, a quarter cup is satisfying but a full cup might be overkill.
03 -
  • Buy nuts and seeds in bulk and store them in the freezer so you can make trail mix whenever the craving hits.
  • Keep a few empty jars around, homemade trail mix makes a thoughtful last-minute gift that people actually use.
  • If you're taking this on a hike in hot weather, leave out the chocolate or it'll turn into a melty mess.
