Gourmet Nut Power Up High Energy 14 oz

Gourmet Nut Power Up High Energy Trail Mix in the 14 oz (397g) resealable bag is a functional, nutrient-dense snack designed for sustained physical activity and mental focus. Unlike traditional "candy-heavy" trail mixes, the High Energy blend utilizes a specific combination of dried fruits and premium nuts to provide a balanced release of glucose and healthy fats.

Flavor & Texture Profile

The Power Up experience is defined by "natural sweetness and varied crunches":

• Tangy Dried Cranberries: Provide a soft, leathery chew and a sharp, acidic sweetness that prevents the mix from feeling heavy.

• Roasted Salted Cashews: Offer a creamy, buttery "yield" and a natural milky sweetness that complements the tart fruit.

• Firm & Snap-Heavy Almonds: Whole almonds provide a dense, woody crunch and act as the structural base of the mix.

• Sweetened Dried Mango: Adds a tropical, chewy dimension with a higher natural sugar content for a quick energy boost.

• Buttery Walnuts: Provide a soft, crumbly texture and a rich, earthy depth that rounds out the brighter fruit notes.

Core Ingredients

The ingredient list focuses on whole-food sources with minimal processing:

• Dried Fruit: Cranberries (Cranberries, Sugar, Sunflower Oil) and Mango (Mango, Sugar, Citric Acid).

• Nut Variety: Cashews (Roasted in Sunflower Oil, Salt), Almonds (Roasted in Sunflower Oil, Salt), and Raw Walnuts.

• Note: This blend is Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten-Free, and Vegan, making it suitable for a wide range of dietary lifestyles.

Energy & Nutritional Profile

Because this is a "High Energy" blend, it features a higher carbohydrate-to-fat ratio than pure nut mixes, providing both immediate and long-term fuel. A standard 1.4 oz (40g) serving (approx. 1/3 cup) typically provides:

Key Characteristics

• "Clean" Fuel: The Power Up line avoids artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, relying on the natural oils of the nuts and the fructose of the fruit for flavor.

• Omega-3 Source: The inclusion of walnuts provides alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is essential for heart and brain health.

• Low Sodium: With roughly 50mg of sodium per serving, this is a "heart-healthy" alternative to highly processed salty snacks.

• Resealable Freshness: The heavy-duty stand-up pouch with a zip-lock top is designed to keep the dried fruit from becoming hard and the nuts from absorbing humidity.

Usage Tip: The tart cranberry and toasted almond notes of this mix make it a world-class companion for a dark roast coffee or a Barissimo Mocha Iced Coffee. The bitterness of the coffee beans highlights the acidity of the dried fruit, while the high fat content of the cashews and walnuts helps coat the palate, smoothing out any bitterness in the brew.
