Homemade Trail Mix

Homemade Trail Mix is a quick and easy snack to keep on hand for between meals, on a hike, or after a workout. A nice blend of sweet and salty ingredients makes this trail mix an addictive pantry staple.

While this is a simple recipe with only 5 ingredients, I think it deserves its own post. Sometimes you need reminding of the snacks you could be making from home. It makes me feel good to have a stash of homemade trail mix on hand.

Plus, the varieties are endless! Don’t like almonds? Substitute with cashews, walnuts, or pepitas. I used mini M&M’s as you can see in the photos, but you can use peanut M&M’s or chocolate chips as well.

I love these small disposable containers. They hold 1/2 a cup of trail mix perfectly. Just toss it in your bag and you’re good to go. 

Another favorite on-the-go snack? These No Bake Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Granola Bars. Bonus – no baking required!

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Granola Bars are another favorite snack of mine. No baking and makes a week’s worth at a time? I’m in.
