The following recipe for a high-protein nut and trail mix recipe comes to us from SurvivalBlog reader Carl B.
Ingredients
- ½ cup dried blueberries
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup dried cherries (tart style)
- ½ cup salted dried sunflower seeds (optional)
- 2 ½ cups salted mixed nuts (preferably with almonds but without any peanuts–unless you love peanuts.)
- ½ cup small dried pineapple (chop first to 1/3-inch cubes, if the chunks are too large)
- 1 cup M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces
Carl’s Note: The last ingredient is optional or can be reduced. You may substitute one cup of something else that is sweet and about the same size pieces. For example, raisins. But whatever you choose must be low moisture! I found that most dried apricots are high moisture, and therefore will ruin any trail mix that is stored more than a day.
You can also substitute low salt nuts and low salt sunflower seeds if you are on a low-salt diet.
Directions
Combine all the ingredients and mix until evenly blended.
STORAGE
Store in any sealed container that is airtight.
