back to basics ~ trail mix

The Fall is an incredibly beautiful yet busy time for me- between work and fitting in all the amazing Fall fun it can be hard to keep fueled throughout the day. To save the day and to keep from getting HANGRY I tend to keep a container of trail mix with me at all times. It really is the best for everyone involved - a Hangry Heather is not a Happy Heather. 

The easy way out is to purchase a big bag of pre made trail mix, however I like to throw together my own in a mason jar, seriously it is just as easy as buying a bag but better. The mix varies week to week depending on what I have on hand. I like to toss in the lat bits of nuts or seeds, the bottom of the bag so to speak.

Sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds are always included - I also love adding Hemp Hearts when I have them on hand. Any mix of nuts work - my favorites are raw cashews and pecans. Dried fruit and mini chocolate chips add texture and sweetness and a bit of shredded coconut clings to the dried fruit which I just love.

Now Foods carries everything and anything you could dream of to make an epic trail mix and today we would love to give one lucky reader a head start in creating their very own mix.
