Homemade Trail Mix

Image

This is a quick and easy snack that helps prevent me from eating processed junk. I added a bag of Parker’s Peanuts (Virginia gourmet), a few tablespoons of Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (soy and dairy free), dried cranberries or cherries, pumpkin seeds (I like “Go Pumpkins!” dry roasted organic lightly salted pumpkin seeds), golden-honey raisins, slivered almonds, and sunflower seeds. Make sure not more than one of your ingredients have added salt or it will be a sodium-loaded snack. Other than my pumpkin seeds I like to make sure none of the other ingredients are processed or prepared in any way and that they do not have any added ingredients. This snack takes under 5 minutes to prepare.

Parker’s Peanuts are the best peanuts I have ever tasted. They have no additives or preservatives. (Virginia Peanuts, Inc. Courtland, Virginia 23837)
