While I love to hike the trails, I use this mix more when I am working and can’t shake free from my busy clinic—I just have to bring extra for my coworkers!

It’s great to keep on hand in your desk drawer at work or in the car. It is the perfect balance of sweet and nutritious!

1. Heat your oven to 225 degrees.

2. Spread almonds and cashews on a sheet tray. Roast until nuts are slightly brown and fragrant, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with salt if desired. Let cool.
