Paleo Trail Mix with Walnuts and Cacao
Running late, fueled only by vibes and caffeine? Paleo Trail Mix with Walnuts and Cacao to the rescue—because “hangry” isn’t a personality trait. This mix has all the crunch, sweet, salty, and smug healthiness you could ever want. Walnuts? Check. Cacao? Obviously. Add-ins that say “I snack like a functional adult”? You bet. It’s basically the snack that says, “I hike,” even if you haven’t seen nature since that one wellness retreat in 2019. Bonus: it’s vegan, paleo, and totally guilt-free—unless you eat the whole thing in one sitting (which, let’s be real, you will).
