Trail mix makes a great snack for hiking, biking, skiing, walking or any other form of exercise where you need some fuel to help you keep going.
It's also great in packed lunches, and as breaktime snacks for the kids, instead of some of the too sweet, nutritionally devoid snack bars on the market that will cause a sugar crash after eating them. Just make sure if your kids are taking this trail mix to school that there isn't a "no nuts" policy in place, and if there is, leave the nuts out and substitute some gluten free wholegrain cereal instead..
