I love all things related to fall; pumpkins, costumes, holiday meals, decor, crafts, but my absolute favorite thing is anything pumpkin spice! Let’s face it, it’s now in pretty much everything, right?
Lately, I’ve been needing a bit more of an energy boosting snack more so during this pregnancy to help me keep up with our very active 4-year-old. Since the weather in Southern California has finally started to cool down, I was craving something pumpkin-ish so I made this pumpkin pie spice trail mix. All it takes is 10 minutes and 6 ingredients. Yes, it has more sugar than I need (Reese’s Pieces are my fav!), but sometimes it’s just about portion control and balancing meals. Plus, I promise I made up for it during dinner with a lean protein and veggie meal.
Ingredients
- Makes about 3 cups
- 1 tsp Ground Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 tsp Organic Honey
- 1/2 cup Pretzels
- 1/4 cup Reese's Pieces
- 3/4 cup Raw Unsalted Cashews
- 1/4 cup Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Cinnamon Almonds (replace with raw almonds to lower carb intake)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- In a large bowl, mix almonds, cashews, pretzels, pumpkin spice and honey.
- Place mix onto baking sheet (I lined it with aluminum foil)
- Bake for 10 minutes
- Let it sit for a few minutes and place into a sealed container.
- Done! The best part of it all, you're house will smell delicious!
Life is sweet. Enjoy it. Cheers to fall y’all!

I love this! We always need snacks for football season & I especially love taking trail mix with me when I’m hiking. I never thought of making it with Pumpkin Pie flavor. Shared. Love, Lisa
