easy-peasy trail mix recipe & a deal

trail mix is such a good go-to snack! however, the pre made trail mix at the store often contains too salty nuts, too sugary dried fruits, and chocolate without the health benefits. so, instead of buying the store's trail mix, i dare you to make your own! it really is one of the easiest things you can make... so easy a kid could do it! the recipe below is my favorite version and i am often finding myself replenishing it! it can easily be adapted to fit your tastes and easily doubled or tripled! i usually keep mine in a plastic container so it is easily accessible for snacks! (just make sure you don't eat too much - while nuts are good for you, they can be high in calories so make sure to keep it to a single serving)

trail mix

1/2 c unroasted, unsalted almonds

1/2 c unroasted, unsalted peanuts

1/2 c reduced sugar craisins

1/2 c unsweetened banana chips

1/4 c unroasted, unsalted sunflower seeds

1/4 c white chocolate chips

1/4 c dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs

1. combine ingredients (i often just make it in the container i plan on keeping it in) and mix well! 

i also wanted to share with my knoxville readers an amazing deal if you are looking for a good workout!
