I will always choose a savory snack over a sweet snack. This savory trail mix is loaded with nuts, seeds, and spices that will hit the spot when you are on the go. Savory trail mix is the perfect addition to a party or picnic. It is easily packable for hiking, hanging at the beach, or on any busy day when you need a quick pick-me-up.
I like some spiciness in my snacks. Instead of salt, I used Coconut Secret Spicy Seasoning Sauce to add another level of flavor and a slight kick to this recipe. When coating the ingredients the spicy seasoning sauce soaks into everything making every bite of this trail mix delicious.
The ingredients in this recipe can be changed to your favorite ingredients or whatever you have on hand. I loaded this recipe with nuts and seeds to refuel me when I am on the go. Let me know what combinations you come up with!
