My favorite simple Trail Mix!

To me, trail mix in and of itself has to include nuts and raisins. It also has to include something salty and something sweet. This is so healthy and so quick you won’t believe it! For one, I can’t get enough coconut and use it as much as possible in every form! I opt for raw nuts that I soak (I will include the steps to that at some point in the future) but really any nuts will do! As always, I would recommend organic at a minimum.  The amounts and variations are endless. Maybe this will help keep your hands out of those chips throughout the day icon smile My favorite simple Trail Mix!

1 cup almonds (raw, soaked, dehydrated or organic)

1 cup cashews

1 cup roasted, salted peanuts (these are important as the salt is a requirement for flavor of trail mix if you ask me!)

1/2 cup sunflower seeds (I buy raw sunflower seeds from Trader Joes)

1/2 cup shredded coconut (I choose sweetened to be my “sweet” to the peanuts “salty” but buy plain if you prefer!)

1/2 cup (or more!) raisins

Simply combine all ingredients and shake ‘em up! I store in a gallon size bag or in quart sized jars. Great yummy snack that truly sticks with you and curbs appetite!

    Good suggestion! Probably cheaper than all the small bags we buy to keep on hand for toddler snacks!
