However, peanuts are commonly used in traditional trail mix recipes, so if you’re really missing the peanuts, then go ahead and throw some in there. I’m also really sensitive to peanuts so I do my best to avoid them. Peanuts are legumes, which aren’t allowed on the paleo diet.
This recipe is peanut free because we follow the paleo diet most of the time. This particular recipe only has 4 ingredients! I really wanted to keep it simple – because that’s typically the way I roll, but if there’s something you want to add in, by all means, do it. There are a lot of ways to make an easy trail mix recipe. It’s also a PERFECT trail mix recipe for kids, because its easy to pack in a lunchbox! I absolutely love making a big batch of homemade trail mix, storing it in a mason jar, and having it on hand for when we need a quick and healthy snack. And this one is probably the easiest one you’ll find – because there’s only 4 ingredients!
