Healthy Homemade Trail Mix Recipe

This is my absolute favorite homemade trail mix. It is super quick to make. It is SO much healthier than those gas station or vending machine snacks. So go nuts!

Healthy Homemade Trail Mix
1 Cup Cheerios
2 Tbsp Almonds (raw)
1 Tbsp Raisins
1 Tbsp Guittard Dark Chocolate Chips

Directions
Combine Cheerios, almonds, raisins, and chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container.

1 serving is 245 calories

A delicious substitute for raisins are dried cranberries. (I use no sugar added raisins. I haven't found a sugar-free dried cranberry. So beware cranberries mean more sugar and higher calories)

Snacks are a great way to manage hunger and maintain energy in between meals. This trail mix is great because it is packed with protein, fiber, and whole-grains. Share it with your friends, your kids, or keep it all for yourself.
