The following recipe for a fairly healthy Super Easy Trail Mix is from SurvivalBlog reader T.W.. She recommends: “I suggest you buy most of the ingredients in bulk, to cut down on the cost of the mix.”
Ingredients
- 1 c. of your preferred low-salt nut(s), mixed (I like almonds and pecans)
- 1 to 1-/12 c. of chocolate chips, M&Ms, or Reese’s Pieces candy (can be omitted if you are on a diet)
- 1 c. of Animal Crackers (or other small crackers) and/or small pretzels. (I like cheese-flavored ones)
- 1 c. of your preferred dry breakfast cereal or low-moisture granola/museli.
- 1 c. of dried fruit(s) or raisins (Be sure that it’s a low-moisture fruit, or it will make your trail mix a sticky mess!)
Directions
Just pour all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and stir them well with a large mixing spoon or spatula.
STORAGE & Trail Servings
Store the mix in an airtight container, like Tupeprware.
Dispense into small, very sturdy ziploc bags, for the trail. Pack all of those small bags inside a larger (gallon-size) ziploc bag, in case one of the small ones bursts.
