Healthy Trail Mix

Trail mix. It can be a “healthy” snack but many of the brands you can purchase at the market are filled with oils and sugars and artificial flavors/colors that I just don’t want to put into my body.

If I am being completely honest though, that is not the main reason I don’t eat them….I just don’t love peanuts. They are some of my least favorite nuts. I love the M&M’s and that basically it when it comes to the “traditional trail mix”.

Years ago my sister and I were out together and she offered me some of her homemade trail mix. It was SO good and I felt silly that I never had thought to just make my own!

From that time forward I started making my own trail mix. It has changed over the years but I have been making it the same the past couple years and this combination is goooood.

Here are the essentials:

• Almonds ( I prefer organic and raw)
• Sprouted Pumpkin seeds
• Coconut chips
• Dried blueberries (watch the added ingredients in these)
• Dark Chocolate (use a high quality chocolate so you can eat lots without feeling an ounce of guilt)

Now, everyone has different preferences so don’t feel strapped to this recipe. Feel free to add some of your favorites too. Sometimes I will add some extra nuts to the mix or even a different dried fruit but this combination is my absolute favorite.
