My Favorite Trail Mix

This mix is great for traveling or just an afternoon snack.

3 cups Unsalted Whole Almonds
1 cup Dried Cranberries
1 cup Chopped dried mango
1 – 2 cups Cashews
1 – 2 cups Peanuts
1 cup M&Ms

I add more of the almonds and less of the peanuts and M&M’s. It is really up to your taste. I use the unsalted almonds because I’m not a big salt fan and the peanuts and cashews add enough salt.

You can also add seasoning like Caribbean Jerk season, spicy taco season or cinnamon sugar for a variety of mix. Be creative.

This is great for an in-flight snack because you get the protein from the nuts and the health benefits from the fruit. The M&M’s are just yummy.

For sightseeing during the day in hot weather I omit the M&Ms so they don’t melt. A baggie of trail mix and a bottle of water in your back pack or purse can be a lifesaver while waiting in line for a museum or on a bus.
