Trail mix is such a great snack. It’s usually my go-to snack on days I’m on the go or too busy to prepare anything. I usually just buy a bag of trail mix – one of my favorites is the trail mix by Aloha because it’s organic, gluten-free, and Non-GMO, so eating it feels a lot better for me. Unfortunately, you’ll find that some of thestore bought mixes are loaded with sugar, preservatives, dyes, and unhealthy fats. When I do need them in bulk, though, I’d prefer to just make my own trail mix. If you want to give your family something delicious and healthy, sometimes making your own trail mix only makes sense and is pretty easy to do. Here’s a simple and healthy trail mix recipeyou can try and can alsobe altered to fit your tastes.

Paula Schuck saysThis is a great recipe. I love trail mix, but not all trail mixes are created equal. I love to find recipes that are heavy on nuts and seeds and not so much on chocolate covered everything.

This is a great Trail Mix blend. I love salty, sweet, chewy and crunchy in a trail mix recipe. Love that you give options for people to customize it too.

I love making my own trail mix! It’s so much cheaper when you can whip it up at home yourself instead of buying pre-made bags at the grocers.
