Ingredients

• 4 ounces beef or turkey jerky (unsweetened, high-quality)
• 2 ounces dried mango slices
• 2 ounces dried apricots
• 1 ounce dried cranberries (unsweetened, if possible)
• 1 ounce dried apple rings
• 2 ounces mixed nuts (optional, for added crunch)

Directions

Step 1

Gather all ingredients on a clean surface and prepare an airtight container or resealable snack bags for storage.

Step 2

Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut the jerky into bite-sized pieces (approximately 1-2 inches each).

Step 3

If your dried fruit pieces are too large (e.g., apple rings or mango slices), use kitchen scissors to cut them into smaller, manageable chunks.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the jerky pieces, dried mango slices, dried apricots, dried cranberries, and dried apple rings. If using mixed nuts, toss them in as well for added crunch and flavor.

Step 5

Using clean hands or a large spoon, gently mix all the ingredients to ensure even distribution.

Step 6

Portion out the mix into single-serving snack bags or an airtight container for easy storage. Each serving should be approximately 3 ounces of the mix.

Step 7

Store the snack mix at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks for optimal freshness.

Step 8

Enjoy your protein-packed and nutrient-dense jerky dried fruit snack as a convenient and delicious energy booster!
