The combinations are endless! Here are some examples; pick 1-2 options from each category mix it up and enjoy!

DRIED FRUIT raisins, cranberries, cherries, or banana chips.

These days, Trail Mix goes way beyond the basic raisins and peanuts. From sweet to savory, there are thousands of combinations to satisfy any palate or snack craving.
DIRECTIONS
All you have to do is combine your favorite dry ingredients and stash the mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry location, and you're good to go. Keep in mind trail mix can be calorically dense so mind your portion size. Keep the portion size in check. I usually say 1/4-1/3 cup is plenty.
