Homemade Trail Mix Recipes

I have never been asked to fill a request before...and I think I already did the recipe for trail mix...I guess I should double check though...BRB...Wow I have a few recipes in here...love the new way all is so nicely in order...but nothing there for a Trailmix...so guess I can give mine away...

First of all it is not in-expensive to make the way I do it...but once you see my recipe you can adjust it to your needs and likes or dis-likes....

Secondly I use ALL Organic foods for this recipe...I am so fortunate to have many organic farmers around here and many stores that now carry many, many items in the Organic area...

It is very simple to do...I store mine in glass jars with lids and it lasts till we eat it all...:O) I really don't know how long it will last ,just make sure it is in air tight containers and not left in the sunlight...

So I gather....raisins...cranberries(dried ones)...dried apricots...dried cherries...dried pineapple...dried apples...dried plumbs...(in other words whatever kind of dried fruit you like).

Next...is almonds, p-nuts, cashews, walnuts, corn nuts,( some salt is good) soy nuts,... sun flower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pistacios, this list is also whatever you like...or can tolerate...you are only limited by your imagination...

Then we come to the sweeter things...like dark chocolate chips, coconut, M& M's, white choco chips. ( there are many different flavors. take your pick)...candy corn, gumdrops, licorice, mints, small marshmellow and on and on...yummm

Also drier healthy things like... granola cereal, cheerios, rice crispies,rice crackers, oatmeal, cheese flavored crackers, (thinking of the children now), broken ginger snaps, cut up fig newtons, flavored rice cakes, popcorn, even animal crackers and a lot of these come in organic too, from Health food stores.

So once you decide what you want to mix together (sometimes it is trial and error to find what your family likes best) MIX AWAY....using a large container to mix and then storing it in other smaller ones.

Is a good snack, a good lunchbox treat, a picnic food, good on car trips, or walks, after a swim, almost anytime. Calories? well not like candy or cookies or cakes etc...but dried fruits do carry some and a trail mix can be filling as well as nutritional and full of Good Eats...

So to "The Real Tomato" I hope I have answered your request to your liking and Thank you sweetie...was my pleasure...G-Ma :O) Hugs & Peace
