Morphology
The phrase 'a mix of' is compositionally transparent: 'mix' denotes a combining process or result and the preposition 'of' marks the constituents, so a learner who knows those words can infer 'a combination made up of different elements'. The determiner + noun + of-phrase pattern is a common, cross-linguistic construction, making the meaning immediately predictable for a B1 learner.
Etymology
A mix of brings to mind a bowl where you stir different ingredients together until they become one, creating a single taste; so it means 'a combination of different things'.
