Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Nuts – Start with your favorite nuts because they’re loaded with healthy unsaturated fats, protein, fiber, antioxidents, and other essential vitamins. I usually add almonds, walnuts or cashews.
Seeds – Add a handful of seeds to your trail mix for an extra boost of nutrients. I like to add sunflower seeds but you could add pumpkin, sesame, and flax seed. This is also great for people who have nut allergies.
Whole Grain – Add whole grains to your mix for extra fiber. Post® Shredded Wheat is the perfect addition to this trail mix because its loaded with fiber without the added sugar – It’s packed with 49 grams of whole grain and 6 grams of fiber to be exact.
Dried Fruit – Add a dried fruit that will also provide fiber, antioxidents, and vitamins. I always go with dried apricots because I love them and they have more vitamins than other dried fruits.
Something Sweet – Finally, add something sweet. This can be a chocolate chips, yogurt covered raisins or M&M’s. I added coconut flakes to my trail mix to sweeten it up a little. The combination of the apricots and coconut is sweet enough for me.
