Ingredients

½ cup dry roasted peanuts
½ cup pecan halves
½ cup unsweetened coconut chips
⅓ cup no sugar added chocolate chips I used Lily’s
¼ cup unsweetened dried blueberries or cranberries

Instructions

Toast the coconut. Place the coconut chips in a dry skillet and toast for 8-9 minutes on medium-low heat, shaking the skillet every minute or so until evenly toasted. Be careful not to burn the coconut!
Once the coconut cools, transfer to a bowl and break into smaller pieces or leave them whole. Do the same with pecan halves so all pieces are more or less uniform size.
Add peanuts, chocolate chips and dried fruit (blueberries or cranberries) and mix until combined.
Transfer to a jar or an airtight container and store at room temperature.

Notes

If you don't want you use peanuts and pecans, replace them with other great low-carb nuts, such as macadamia, Brazil nuts or walnuts.

Make sure your dried blueberries or cranberries are unsweetened to keep the carb count down. Sweetened dried fruit is also delicious in this mix, if you don't mind some added sugar.

If you don't want to toast coconut chips yourself, swap raw coconut chips with packaged toasted coconut (pay attention to nutritional label for added sugar and oil though).

Serve this mix on its own or on top of oatmeal, smoothie bowls, yogurt or ice-cream!
