If ever I’ve had a true food addiction, besides ice cream and frozen yogurt<\/a><\/strong>, it’s trail mix. The sweet-salty combination is enough to have me eating an entire jar without realizing what happened!<\/p>\n

While trail mixes can be a bit of a temptation especially for those few among us who only pick out the chocolate bits (guilty), they can also be an incredibly health snack to fuel our most rigorous of activities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This trail mix is a simple one to throw together, as are most. You’ll simply need even parts pecans, walnuts, almonds, raisins, dried cranberries and dark chocolate<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Throw the mixture together in a bowl and ‘voila!’ you’ve got a sweet and nutty trail mix<\/a><\/strong> on your hands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I found this mix perfect for snacking away on at work any time my stomach would start growling for lunch and it was only 10:30. Just a few bites are all you need for plenty of satisfaction and healthy indulgence.<\/p>\n
