Sweet & Salty Granola Trail Mix

Sweet and Salty Granola Trail Mix -- Epicurean VeganThis is an excellent snack filled with lots of healthy protein and a great blend of sweet and salty. It’s so easy to make, and I guarantee a lot healthier than the bagged or bulk varieties in the store. No overdose of sodium or preservatives, plus, you can tailor it to your tastes. This is the perfect snack to take up hiking, packed in your kid’s lunchbox, or while you’re at your desk.

INGREDIENTS:
2 C old fashioned oats
1 C coconut flakes
1/2 C wheat germ
1 C raw and unsalted cashews
1 C raw and unsalted walnuts
1/2 C raw and unsalted almonds
1/2 C raw and unsalted pecans
1/2 C unsalted pepitas
1/3 C brown rice syrup
1/2 C unsweetened almond milk
1/4 C olive oil
1 tsp salt, plus some for sprinkling
1-1/2 C dried fruit (I like this organic mix from Costco)
1 C vegan dark chocolate chips

Try not to break up the clusters too much and gently stir in the dried fruit. Let the mixture cool before stirring in the chocolate chips. Enjoy!
