HAPPY & HEALTHY TRAILS MIX

Yield: about 6 cups

PRINT RECIPE

​We love to make our own trail mix. The store-bought varieties can have too much added sugar, oils and processed ingredients. When you make your own trail mix, you can buy the ingredients in bulk and always have them on hand for quick, healthy snacks. Best of all, kids can get involved and make their own trail mix combinations with their favorite ingredients! I have shared a simple recipe below (no baking required)!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups nuts: almonds, walnuts, cashews, soy nuts (I prefer raw and unsalted)
• 1 cup dried fruit: raisins, cranberries, apricots, banana chips
• 1 cup seeds: sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds
• 2 cups extras: pretzels, sesame sticks, dried cereal, popcorn

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together your favorite items from each category to make a happy and healthy trail mix creation.
2. Add about 1 cup of trail mix to Ziplock bags or a reusable bag. 
3. Find a trail and enjoy!
