This tropical trail mix recipe uses a combination of dried fruits, nuts, and crunchy add-ins for a salty-sweet taste. It's full of healthy fats, is free of refined sugar, and is naturally both gluten-free and dairy-free.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
Add the coconut flakes, nuts, and seeds to an unlined baking sheet, making sure to keep the coconut separate since it requires less baking time.
Bake for 3 minutes, and then stir the coconut flakes a little before baking for another 3 minutes. Remove the coconut flakes from the oven and continue cooking the nuts and seeds for another 4 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
While you're waiting for the roasted ingredients to cool down, chop your dried mango into bite-size pieces, break the freeze-dried fruit up into smaller pieces, and break the plantain chips in half.
Now, add everything to a large bowl and toss everything together until well mixed. Store in an airtight glass jar or reusable silicone bag until ready to eat.
