RECIPE: Fall trail mix is easy-to-make healthy snack

September 5, 2020 By Michelle Rogers

Fall trail mix by Michelle Rogers Healthy Living

Here’s a simple idea for a yummy high-protein snack anyone can make. No culinary skills required!

Trail mix is so simple that there really is no way to screw it up. And there’s also no right or wrong when it comes to ingredients — use any combination of nuts and dried fruit that you like. You can also add in some chocolate or small candy for sweetness if desired, such as chocolate chips, M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces.

Ingredients

One package of each:

  • raisins
  • roasted almonds
  • roasted peanuts
  • roasted pumpkin seeds

For the trail mix pictured, I also included some Reese’s Pieces.

I got the ingredients from Trader Joe’s, except for the candy. They have a big selection, great prices and also offer several nuts in a “50% less salt” or unsalted version, which I prefer. I also like Trader Joe’s because their nuts don’t contain MSG.

Directions

Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl or bag, and use a big spoon or your hands to combine.

Then, I divide them up into individual 1/4 cup or 1/3 cup portions and place into small food storage containers or ziploc baggies. This helps me avoid overeating this delicious trail mix. While nuts and seeds are healthy, they are also high in calories and fat when consumed in larger portions.

Trail mix travels great. It’s perfect to stick in your purse for a snack on the go, or to take hiking or on a road trip. The other thing I really like about my Fall Trail Mix is that it’s so filling. The protein packs a punch to keep you going until your next meal.

Enjoy this simple, natural treat!

Nutrition facts: My Fall trail mix of raisins, almonds, peanuts and pumpkin seeds (without candy), per 1/3 cup portion, is: 230 calories, 9 g protein, 15 g carbohydrates, 18 g fat.
