How long does homemade trail mix last?

Can I make this trail mix nut-free?

Absolutely! Swap the almonds for roasted sunflower seeds, coconut flakes, or more pretzels for a nut-free version.

What’s the best way to store trail mix for freshness?

Keep it in a sealed mason jar, airtight container, or resealable bags to prevent moisture from making the pretzels and nuts stale.
