Vegan Monster Trail Mix
Sweet, salty, and endlessly customizable. This vegan monster trail mix is the ultimate movie snack and comes together in 5 minutes with 7 simple ingredients.
Equipment
- large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups Lesser Evil Himalayan Pink Salt Organic Popcorn
- 1 cup salted peanuts
- ½ cup almonds, whole or sliced
- ⅓ cup raisins
- ⅓ cup Unreal dark chocolate crispy quinoa gems
- ⅓ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Add the peanuts, almonds, raisins, pumpkin seeds, Unreal gems, and chocolate chips to a large bowl. Stir to combine so everything is evenly distributed for the perfect ratio of sweet to salty in each bite.
- Add the popcorn and gently toss everything together. A large bowl with a lid is easiest so you can just seal and shake, but a wooden spoon works well too. Go easy either way so the popcorn doesn't get crushed.
- Enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Unreal gems: found at Whole Foods, Target, and natural local markets. Online Thrive Market and Amazon. Substitute with dairy-free chocolate chips if needed.
- Popcorn: best enjoyed within the first few days before it loses its crunch. Store separately if making ahead.
- Customization: see the variations section above for swap ideas, a peanut butter edition, and the monster trail mix bark recipe.
