27trail mix
By: liz | Discussion (2)
Jose travels for work sometimes. i made him
a trail mix the night before one of his
recent trips. i know that trying to be
vegetarian and traveling don’t mix and i
wanted to make sure he’d have something
healthy and satisfying to munch on. he
liked it so much that he asked me to make
some so that he’d have something to snack
on when he got home from work (he’s usually
home before me). there’s really no science
to a trail mix, but i’ve decided to blog it
anyway.
1 part dried fruit (we use apple)
1 part banana chips
1 part macadamia nuts
1 part pine nuts
1 part walnuts
1 part pistachios
1 part raisins
1 part sunflower seeds
1 part cereal (like cheerios)
1/2 part cashews
1/2 part cranraisins
mix all the ingredients together and store
in a large container. keep in a cool dry
place and enjoy handfuls whenever you need
a “boost” !
***********************
Honey-Roasted Nuts and Fruit
From
Use any variety of mixed nuts or seeds in
this trail mix. Dried fruit is a
concentrated source of carbohydrates, and
the nuts add good fats and protein to this
snack, which you can pack in bags for the
road. Cooking spray
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of ground cloves
1 cup raisins
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or
foil; coat with cooking spray.
Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet
over medium-high heat. Stir in honey; cook
2 minutes or until mixture bubbles around
edges of pan. Add nuts and next 5
ingredients (nuts through cloves), and cook
over medium heat 8 minutes or until nuts
are golden, stirring frequently. Stir in
raisins. Immediately spread onto prepared
baking sheet; cool completely.

Trail Mix
There are a few foods that I just don't
like: popcorn, avocados, Americanized Asian
food, ranch dressing, anything served at
the golden arches (you know the place, and
their McEvil) and, of course, almonds.
Granted, there are exceptions to almost
every rule, including the aforementioned.
For instance, McEvil serves Coca Cola, of
which I am a long-time fan. And I
frequently use crushed and/or ground
almonds in baked goods. But whole almonds,
that's just gross.
Among the much longer list of foods that I
do love is trail mix. Like some molés, it's
one of the few foods that you can put
chocolate in and still pass off as
healthful. I usually have a jar or bag of
the stuff at my desk at work, and it
usually keeps me from buying candy bars
when I get snacky. But have you ever tried
to find a trail mix without almonds? It's
near impossible! And if that weren't
enough, it's almost as if some
manufacturers like to find anything else
good in there and tweak with it just to
screw it up. I mean, I love pineapple.
Dried pineapple can even be good, but when
everything in the mix is about the size of
an almond except for the half rings of
dried pineapple, or the massive chunk of
dried mangoes, well, that's just a good way
to screw up a good trail mix. So I decided
to take matters into my own hands.
**************************
Joseph's Standard Trail Mix
2 cups cashews
1 cup dried banana slices
1 cup cubed mango/pineapple mix
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dark raisins
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup macadamia nuts
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup peanut M&Ms
Mix 'em together and you're good to go.
Just a couple of notes. First, my local
market happens to have a mix of cubed dried
mangoes and pineapple. The cubes are small,
maybe 1/4-inch each or so. They're perfect.
Dried apricots are rarely perfect, because
they're usually the big hunks that I
dislike so much. I just use my kitchen
shears to cut them into smaller pieces.
Don't try using a knife, things will get
really sticky and you'll end up pretty
unhappy. Also, because the macadamia nuts
were already salted, I just bought raw
cashews and roasted them myself without any
salt. I need to be careful, you know. And
as it turns out, I'm not a really huge fan
of just peanuts. But they are good for you.
And as it turns out, the addition of peanut
M&Ms is a perfect way to include them
anyway, and sneak in a little chocolate
while you're at it.
Of course, this is just my trail mix,
formulated for me. It's probably just a
touch more expensive than commercial trail
mixes, but at least I don't have to go
through picking out almonds. And if I get
tired of something else, I can just leave
it out next time. If I find something new,
I can just add it in. I don't think I even
used golden raisins last time I made this,
but I had some in the cupboard, so I used
'em. It's just like the pasta salad, do
what you want to do. You have the chance to
do something that nobody else can really
do: make something that's perfect for you.

Trail Mix, A Kid-Friendly Recipe
Nuts offer protein and healthy fats that
can aid in brain development, help lower
bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol.
This snack is also a good source of vitamin
E (an antioxidant), as well as phosphorus
and magnesium (important for strong teeth
and bones). Kids can make one snack or a
whole week's worth at once by scooping one
spoonful of each item into a baggie and
repeating the process several times.
You will need:
A knife ♦ A cutting board ♦ 9 little
bowls ♦ 9 soup spoons ♦ Zipper baggies
Ingredients:
- Melissa's organic dried mango
- Flanigan Farms almonds
- Flanigan Farms pecans
- Flanigan Farms pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
- Flanigan Farms sunflower seeds
- Melissa's organic dried blueberries
- Melissa's organic dried cranberries
- Pavich organic Thompson seedless raisins

(in the green container)
Nestlé Toll House chocolate morsels
Instructions:
Use a knife to cut up some of the mango
pieces to about the size of an almond.
Put the cut mango in one of the bowls.
Put all of the other ingredients in their
own bowls.
Place a spoon in each bowl.
Open your plastic baggie.
Scoop one spoonful of each item into your
baggie.Zip the baggie up and shake your
trail mix to mix it up. Eat it now or take
it to school for a snack.
