Power Trail Mix


Power Trail Mix

 If you're looking for a high energy snack loaded with protein and tastes great you will love my Power Trail MixThis is a great homemade snack to enjoy for the upcoming spring and summer months. You can add what ever ingredients you like.  I added lots of mixed nuts, seeds and dried fruit, but you can tailor it to your own preference.

This is a perfect snack to keep in your backpack for a day hike or bike ride now that the nice weather is here.  It's healthy and will keep your energy level high.  I add different types of nuts and dried fruit.  You can be creative and add whatever you like, kids love it too.  I store it in glass jars on my counter but you can also refrigerate for freshness.  Here are some the ingredients I use:

Nuts
Sunflower Seeds
Cashews
Pumpkin Seeds
Walnuts
Brazil Nuts
Peanuts
Pistachios

Dried Fruit
Tart Cherries
Raisins
Cranberries
Banana Chips
Papaya
