Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried cranberries preferably fruit juice sweetened or unsweetened if you like

  • ½ cup raw almonds
  • ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup raw pecans
  • ½ cup raw pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon naturally refined avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, pecans and pistachios. Toss with avocado oil and salt and spread onto baking sheet.

Feel free to use any nut and seed you have on hand...but keep the walnuts steady if you want the omega 3 boost!
