Muscle building trail mix. A recipe for the ages, this bad boy makes a tasty testosterone boosting snack. I love this recipe for its simplicity – throw everything into a mixing bowl, mix it and you’re good to go. It’s filling, tasty and great for testosterone production, what’s not to love?
The ingredients listed below yield about 3, 500ml jars worth of trail mix. This equates to around 20 servings but you can play around with the portions as you please.
MUSCLE BUILDING TRAIL MIX
250g cashews
Cashews are low in testosterone-lowering fibre and are full of health boosting vitamins E, K and B6. It also helps that cashews are delicious, just make sure you buy unsalted.
300g Brazil nuts
Brazil nuts are absolutely chock-full of testosterone boosting nutrient selenium which can boost sperm quality and increase total testosterone in men.
250g macadamia nuts
These nuts are fantastic, their ratio of monounsaturated fats to polyunsaturates are great, unlike other varieties like peanuts. These are by far and away the best nut you can consume.
500g dates
Dates are fantastic for boosting all sorts of health markers like digestion, blood pressure and heart function. However their high levels of vital nutrients like iron make them a potent T-booster.
500g raisins
Raisins are packed to the brim full of vitamins like iron and potassium whilst also being extremely tasty. One of the tastier ways to eat for health and extremely cheap when bought in bulk.
Cooking
Empty all ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
Mix everything well so there’s an even distribution of nuts, dates and raisins.
Siphon off into jars or however you wish to store the mix.
