Every ingredient is selected for maximum nutritional impact. Together, they create a snack that is as delicious as it is good for you.

Health Benefits of Berry Blast Trail Mix

1. Exceptionally High in Antioxidants

Berries are among the most antioxidant-rich foods on the planet. The combination of blueberries, cranberries, blackcurrants and strawberries in Berry Blast delivers a powerful dose of anthocyanins and flavonoids — compounds that protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

2. Sustained Energy Without the Crash

Unlike sugary snacks that cause energy spikes and crashes, Berry Blast provides a balanced combination of natural sugars, healthy fats and protein that gives you steady, sustained energy. This makes it an ideal snack for long work sessions, travel or between meals.

3. Heart Health Support

Cranberries and blueberries are clinically associated with improved cardiovascular health — including lower blood pressure and reduced LDL cholesterol. Combined with the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats from cashews and almonds, Berry Blast is a genuinely heart-friendly snack.

4. Immune System Boost

Vitamin C from strawberries and blackcurrants supports a healthy immune system. Blackcurrants in particular contain four times more Vitamin C than oranges — making this mix one of the most immune-supporting snacks you can eat.

5. Gut Health

The natural fibre from berries, nuts and raisins supports healthy digestion and feeds beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to overall digestive wellness.

When to Eat Berry Blast

  • Morning snack: Start your day with a handful alongside your morning tea or coffee
  • Pre or post workout: The natural sugars provide quick energy, while nuts support muscle recovery
  • Afternoon slump: A perfect 3pm pick-me-up that won't ruin your appetite
  • Travel snack: Compact, non-perishable and satisfying — ideal for journeys

How Much to Eat Per Day?

A serving size of 30–40 grams (approximately 2–3 tablespoons) is ideal for most adults. This provides around 150–180 calories and a generous hit of antioxidants without overloading on calories.
