The Perfect Snack to Eat While Listening to Miley’s New Song

Malibu by Miley Cyrus is the ultimate anthem for summer 2017. In a radio interview, Miley explained that she wrote it in a car, therefore it’s a song meant for the car. It’s the kind of tune to bop your head to while a warm breeze runs through your hair. Summer is the season for long road trips, which calls for road trip snacks. This tropical, Malibu-inspired trail mix is the perfect snack to munch on during those summer drives.

Malibu Trail Mix

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 2 minutesCook time: 3 minutesTotal time: 5 minutesServings:2 servings

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup popcorn kernels
• spray bottle coconut oil
• 1 Tablespoon salt or to your taste
• zest one lime
• 2 teaspoons lime juice or about 1/2 a lime
• 1/2 cup coconut chips toasted
• 1/2 cup dried mango

Instructions

1. 
   Pop the popcorn using either an air popper or the microwave. To pop in the microwave, place the kernels (no oil needed!) in a popcorn bowl or bag, set the microwave for 3 minutes, and take it out when the popping is more than 3 seconds apart.
2. 
   Spray the popcorn with coconut oil so the seasonings will stick. Then, add the salt, lime zest, and lime juice. Toss to coat.
3. 
   Add in the mix-ins and toss to combine. Package up the trail mix for a tropical grab-and-go snack.

For maximum summer vibes, I recommend playing Malibu in the background while snacking. The coconut, lime, and mango flavors make this like a tropical drink you can take on the go. Plus, this recipe is vegan (so Miley-approved). It turns out, the sky is more blue in Malibu.
