Trail mix could be called the ideal snack: that perfect blend of salty and sweet, crunchy and soft, protein and carbs. It's not only for the trail! I'm planning to take some on an upcoming road trip; but I also like to snack on it during the week at work.
The beauty of making my own is that I get to choose what goes into it. As much as I like peanut butter, I'm not a huge fan of peanuts; some trail mix contains cranberries or sesame seeds; and the list could go on. I simply leave these things out. I also get to choose how much of each ingredient there is: I can guarantee that there is plenty of chocolate. ☻
That being said, this is how I make trail mix; but feel free to use whatever you like or have on hand. These are my preferences, and do not necessarily represent the feelings, taste buds, or preferences of anyone else.
I use almonds; cashews; raisins; and M&M's™ candies.
Measure 1 cup of each into a bowl and mix.
Store in an airtight container. A quart jar holds four cups of mix.
Take some on your next adventure!
