Ingredients
1 cup raw almonds
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

Instructions
- Begin with the almonds and cashews. Spread them evenly onto a large baking tray. Toast lightly in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until golden. Allow the nuts to cool.
- While the nuts are cooling, let us prepare the dried fruit. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried cranberries, chopped apricots, and cherries. The play of flavors from the tart cherries and sweet apricots adds a delectable balance.
- Once your nuts are cooled, add them to the bowl along with the pumpkin and sunflower seeds. A handful of dark chocolate chunks for that unexpected, sweet surprise and a sprinkle of shredded coconut are the next ingredients to join this symphony of textures and tastes.
- Now for the pièce de resistance: the CBD oil. Drizzle it evenly over the mixture, ensuring that it’s spread throughout for consistent servings. A pinch of sea salt is the finishing touch that will elevate the flavors, creating a harmonious balance.
- Mix everything together gently but thoroughly, ensuring every morsel is lightly coated with CBD oil.
- Your CBD Infused Trail Mix is now ready to be enjoyed. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for easy snacking.
