Around 4pm every afternoon (without fail!), you’ll always find CAP HQ searching for a snack. Trail mix never disappoints. Carry it in your bag, keep it in your desk or store it in bulk in your cabinet, and always have a high vibe snack on hand.

by Mary Ellen Amato

SWEET

1 cup raw walnuts

1 cup raw pecans

1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

1/2 cup raw pepitas

1/2 cup cacao nibs

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

2 tablespoons coconut oil (or ghee)

2 tablespoons anandamide (or cacao powder)

2 tablespoons coconut sugar

2 tablespoons tocos

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon [sea salt](/content/products/pink-mountain-salt "salt"/index.html)

1/2 cup mulberries

Preheat oven to 325º. In a mixing bowl, combine the nuts, seeds, cacao nibs and shredded coconut. Set aside.

In a small saucepan over low heat, add the coconut oil, anandamide, tocos, coconut sugar, cinnamon and salt. Gently stir until all 5 ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Pour oil mixture into the nuts/seeds. Toss well to combine.

Place mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through. Allow to cool, add mulberries. You can also dehydrate this instead of baking for 12-18 hours at 115 degrees (with the mulberries included).

Enjoy!

In a smaller separate bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Stir well. Fold liquid mixture into the nuts/seeds. Combine thoroughly.

Enjoy!

\\ Store both in an airtight container after cooled ** ** After a few days, If these trail mixes lose their "crisp," you can throw into a preheated oven at 325 for 10 minutes - or back in your dehydrator for a few hours at 115! **
