Gorp (Trail Mix)
Description
This version of Gorp mixes equal parts of raw unsalted almonds, peanuts, cashews, mixed seeds, raisins, dried cranberries, chocolate chips, and M&Ms, finished with a sprinkle of sea salt. The ingredients remain unroasted to preserve natural flavors and maximum freshness. The assortment combines nutty crunch, chewy dried fruit sweetness, and chocolatey richness for an enjoyable blend.
The preparation involves simply stirring the ingredients together and storing the mix in a sealed bag or jar. This simplicity allows for easy customization with additional nuts, dried fruits, or cereals, depending on preference. Keeping the trail mix dry helps prevent molding during storage. Salting can be adjusted by using salted nuts or omitting extra salt. Avoiding large chunks in the mix preserves even bite sizes.
Gorp makes a versatile snack while hiking, working, or casual eating. Its mix of protein, healthy fats, and sugars offers sustained energy. It is convenient to portion for on-the-go needs, and leftovers can be kept for a month if stored properly.
