Nut & Seed Trail Mix

Nutrition breakdown

At 300 calories it sits in the sweet spot for a satisfying snack that still leaves plenty of room for the rest of your meals. It brings 9g of protein, so pair it with a protein-rich snack or side if this is a main meal and you're chasing a higher daily target. Its macros land in a balanced 12/27/63 protein-carb-fat split, so it works whether you're cutting, maintaining or gaining. That works out to about 3.0g of protein per 100 calories, a quick way to compare how "filling per calorie" one meal is against another.

Why this snack works

This snack earns its place because it proves a plant-forward plate can still hit real protein numbers, not just salad; it stays gluten-free without any specialty ingredients; and it comes together in minutes, which is the real reason healthy eating sticks — convenience beats willpower. Built around almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, raisins, it's the kind of simple, repeatable meal that makes a healthy diet feel automatic rather than like a project.

Tips & variations

• Prep ahead: double the almonds and cook once to have two servings ready — batching is the single biggest time-saver for staying consistent.
• Bump the protein: add an egg, a scoop of Greek yogurt or a few extra grams of your protein source to push it over 30g if this is your main meal.
• Season boldly: plant proteins soak up flavour, so don't be shy with spice, acid and salt — it's the difference between "healthy" and "actually crave it".
• Track it in one tap: log Nut & Seed Trail Mix in FitScan and its 300 calories and 9g protein count straight toward your daily macros.
