# Expert Advice:

  • Making a big batch on Sunday means you have grab-and-go snacks all week when life gets chaotic
02 -
  • Dried fruit can clump together if it's humid, so give everything a good shake before portioning
  • Dark chocolate chips hold up better than milk chocolate in warm weather and won't create a melted mess
03 -
  • Buy nuts and seeds from the bulk bins to save money and customize quantities based on what you actually like
  • Toast the nuts and seeds in a 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes before mixing, then cool completely this makes the flavor exponentially better
