This Homemade Paleo Trail Mix is an easy yet delicious snack that is loved by both kids and adults. It takes only 5 minutes to prepare and makes enough for 20 servings! This recipe is gluten free, grain free, dairy free & refined sugar free.

When I think of trail mix, I think of summer vacations growing up as a kid. My mom would always make a big batch of homemade trail mix for the long car ride to the beach. This Homemade Paleo Trail Mix recipe swaps some ingredients that my mom used to make a gluten free, grain free, dairy free and Paleo friendly version. It’s still a delicious snack that is sweet, slightly salty and so satisfying!

Ingredients

Sunflower seeds
Dried strawberries and bananas (Karen’s Naturals is my favorite brand)
Cashews
Raisins
Walnuts
Almonds
Hu Kitchen Gems (or any other dairy free chocolate)

Are Nuts Gluten Free?

To those of you who follow a strict gluten free diet, nuts are one of those ingredients that can be tricky. They are naturally gluten free yet many of the brands produce their nuts in facilities that also process wheat. As a result, there is a risk of cross contamination. So, make sure you read the label thoroughly and do more research if you still aren’t sure!

How to Store Trail Mix

I will mix all the ingredients in a large bowl to make sure that everything is thoroughly combined. Then I transfer it to an air tight container and keep it in my pantry. I use the Snapware container and love it for storing my trail mix.
