Trail Mix seems like a healthy and innocent snack...
BUT
Many mixes throw in Chocolate chips/ M&M's
Loads of salt
&
Added sugars.
This could easily make that "healthy" little handful of trail mix
contain 300-plus calories!!!!
Making your own trail mix can offer a high protein, high energy
snack - without the calorie overload!
All you need are:
2-3 Types Unsalted Nuts
You can find these at any Fry's in a dispenser area
1-2 Types of dried fruit:
Also found at Fry's: organic & unsweetened or naturally sweetened
I also like to add Dark Chocolate covered fruit pieces from Next
Organics.
I've only ever found them at Albertsons, but they are all organic
and their products contain:
NO Chemical residues, Micro-biological pathogens & GMO ingredients.

You can check out their website here!
I usually go to Fry's to make my trail mix because most Fry's have
an aisle where you can self serve yourself Nuts & dried fruit pieces
& pay by weight for fairly cheap!
I like to get pecans, almonds, banana chips, raisins, & then add in a
package of my dark chocolate fruit from Organics!!

One 1/4 cup serving of my trail mix has about:
109 Calories
7.5 Fats
12 Carbs
1 Fiber
3 Proteins
I typically eat a serving every morning, 2 hours after juicing to
sustain me until lunch!!!
sustain me until lunch!!!
Today I am snacking on it while I study for my finals this week...
Wish me luck!
