WHY You Should Make Your Own Trail Mix!




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!!!


Today I am snacking on it while I study for my finals this week...
Wish me luck!
