Make your own Trail Mix

Sure, you can buy trail mix in the store but it's not always affordable. Buying the ingredients separately will allow you to pick your favorite healthy ingredients and will also cost less in the long run. Make a batch ahead of time and portion out 1/4 cup at a time for an easy healthy snack that is great when you're on the go!



Ingredients:

Unsalted nuts, peanuts, cashews, or almonds
Sunflower seeds
Dried cranberries
Dried cherries
Dried apricots
Raisins
Mini chocolate chips
Mini pretzels
Multi grain Cheerios
Whole wheat Chex cereal
Granola

Directions: In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of 8 of the above items. Choose a variety of ingredients (dried fruit, nuts, cereal, seeds, candies). Store in an airtight container. Serving size: 1/4 cup
