Healthy Trail Mix

With protein to stabilize blood sugar, lots of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, plus heart-healthy fats, trail mix packs a healthy punch! Nina’s Mix is my niece’s combination, my daughter Marea came up with the other tasty blends.

Clean It:

Try organic dried fruits to avoid fruits grown with pesticides and conventional fumigants used during storage.

Green It:

Avoid single-use plastic bags. Wash, air dry, and reuse your zipper bags -- or try small reusable containers that can tuck into lunchboxes or tote bags.

Make It Fun:

Make "trail mixing" a family project: Set out your selection of ingredients, along with a bunch of empty bowls, and let everyone create their own personal blends.

This recipe sparked an idea for my son's camping themed party. Make your own trail mix bar. Put out tons of healthy options and let kids "own" their snack by making their own creation.
