Spring time trail mix: healthy snack




My husband LOVES trail mixes so I decided to make him a homemade batch this week. Awesomewifeaward!


PREP LEVEL: Very easy.

What you'll need:
  • 2 Pint size plastic bags or tupperware
  • Dried cranberries
  • Raisins
  • Mixed nuts (I used raw almonds, cashews, pistachios, and walnuts)
  • Small chocolate pieces (Found the cutest pastel colored chocolate chips from Target <3 )

Equal parts of all and shake the bag or container to mix.  And now we have a festive healthy snack!


BENEFITS OF TRAIL MIX:
  • quick energy boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruit
  •  sustained energy from fats in nuts
  • Dark chocolates have antioxidants (my pastel chocolates however do not..)
