I made this recipe because I created an Afternoon Pick-Me-Up challenge with my friend Jill this week.
Jill is a fitness coach and guides you through 10-minute gentle exercises to energize you for the rest of the day. (I love her workouts! She has a gentle style.)
This is the simple snack to go with her fitness routine.
Her name is Jill, and she does online fitness classes if you want to check her out.

Directions:
Toast pecans and cashews for 10 minutes at 350 F, or until slightly golden brown. (Roast nuts with drizzle maple syrup on a parchment lined baking tray if you want more sweetness) Let cool.
When cool, mix with remaining ingredients. Store in a ziploc bag or mason jar at room temperature or fridge. Keeps for up to 1 month.
Notes:
If you want to eat it raw, you don’t have to toast the nuts. Or you can buy already roasted nuts.
For a healthy snack, eat ⅓ of the trail mix and pair with an apple.
