Something I love but always end up eating too much of? TRAIL MIX! Yes, it’s awesome (delicious) but the “good” stuff is usually packed with sugar AND overpriced for what you get. Today, we’re gonna solve both of those with this easy homemade Bodybuilding Protein Trail Mix Recipe!

For the purpose of the video we started off with a bowl. All YOU need is a sealable gallon bag which you can add everything right into!

Add in it 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds, 1/2 cup of dry roasted edamame, 1/4 cup of almonds, 1/4 cup of pistachios, 1/2 cup of a dried fruit, and PROTEIN CLUSTERS (the best part).

To make these protein clusters for your protein trail mix you’ll want to melt and mix together 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips, and 1 ounce of milk.

4 Tips To Trail Mix

1. It’s easiest to melt your protein cluster ingredients on the stovetop
2. Use chunky peanut butter for a crunch
3. Add whatever dried fruit you want in
4. You don’t have to add all of the ingredients we’re using

After your protein cluster mix has melted, quickly mix in 1 scoop of protein powder and 1/2 cup of rolled oats. You should use whatever flavor protein powder you think will compliment the protein trial mix best.

Shape your protein clusters with your hands or a spoon and put them on some parchment paper. Repeat until your mix is gone.

Place those into your freezer until they harden up enough to peel them off the parchment paper.

Add your clusters and everything else into a sealable bag and simply shake it up to mix it all together!

I usually get around 10 servings out of this bodybuilding protein trail mix.
