Fruits, nuts and seeds are commonly found together in everything from granolas to snack bars, but this Seed and Fruit Mix from Enjoy Life is made without any nuts whatsoever. Instead, Enjoy Life blends pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds with pieces of fruit and small chocolate chips.
As a whole, the product is free from gluten, dairy, eggs, soy and a few more ingredients that many consumers are conscious to stay away from. The Seed and Fruit snack is ideal for parents who want to send their kids to school with safe snacks that won't bother other students with nut allergies.
As well as offering its nut-free Seed and Fruit Mix in a Mountain Mambo flavor, Enjoy Life also offers one called Beach Bash.
