Sweet and Salty Arizona Trail Mix is an abundant variety of nuts and seeds. Snack, road trip and trail ready it will keep you going for a long time.

 

Trail Mix wasn’t invented until the late 60’s. GORP (Good Old Raisins and Peanuts) also showed up at that time. It was a free and happy time and healthier eating habits were coming into vogue.

There was no turning back and by the 70’s you could find a mix here and there in speciality stores. It was expensive but you could find it.

Slowly, trail mixes popularity grew and made it to the main stream but it wasn’t for over 20 years that people started making their own.

The internet helped with that with recipes popping up all over the place. Also, eany nut and seed and dried fruit you can think of seems to be at our fingertips now.

Today I am sharing my tried and true mix that has been in our household repertoire for many years.

Pepitas are a new addition and they really add a lot to the texture and flavor. High in protein too. In fact, this whole mix is high protein.

 Take a few minutes out of your day, a very few minutes,  and you will have a healthy snack that you can easily take with you on any outing.

    You caught me Emy! I left out the coconut oil. Fixed the recipe and go with just the 1 tablespoon to start with. It goes a long way. Thanks for the heads up.
