Make Your Own Trail Mix


Here's a quick and easy one you could throw together late on a Sunday night or even with a couple extra minutes on a Monday morning.  This came about because I was looking for a "snack" to pack for work one weekday morning.  I was running out of time before I had to get on the road to the office and thought, "I don't have anything to eat!"

Oh yes I do!  I had originally just put some raisins into a container and was about to call it done.  Then I realized I had half a granola bar sitting in the fridge so I crumbled that up and added it to the raisins.  A quick peek into the pantry yielded some pumpkin and sunflower seeds so they got added to the party.  And the best way to finish it off?  With some chunks of dark chocolate of course!

This turned out to be a super easy and super simple "trail mix" that I threw together with stuff that was already in my pantry.  It was a great snack for that 3:00pm lull when I just want a little something to get me to 5 o'clock.  Salty, sweet, chewy, crunchy and best of all...healthy and delicious!

Try this out for yourself!  Go check your pantry and see what goodies you have lying around that you can combine.  Nuts, granola, chocolate, seeds, dried fruit, crackers, pretzels, anything!
