Notes

  • Use the Four Elements for Perfect Trail Mix to make the best mix: Nuts, Seeds, Dried Fruit and one or two Fun, Flavorful Elements.
  • To really zest up your trail mix, sprinkle with a herb or flavoring when you have completed the mix.  Something like a touch of cocoa, cinnamon or even thyme is delicious!
  • For folks who have issues with portion control, add more low calorie elements like popcorn to the mix. 
PRO TIP:  If portion control is a HUGE issue, measure out into portions and put in small resealable plastic bags and label as "One Portion".
