What is your favorite home made trail mix?

Post Reply New Topic

Mine is Cheerios, raisins, chocolate chips, and walnuts. I also like to combine a berry flavored energy bar with a bananna. Very quick and satisfying.

Blueberries and almonds

I have no molars (back teeth) left, so my custom mix contains no raisins or dried fruit which is impossible for me to eat anymore. I use four items I can nibble on with my front teeth...
1. Peanuts
2. Sunflower kernels
3. M&M candy
4. Mini-pretzels

Yours is very healthful; maybe the most healthful so far. Lots of antioxidants. One of my favorite cereal combinations include those ingredients. I am eating that now. Oatmeal, Honey Bunches of Oats (including almonds) frozen blueberries, and sliced bananas.

That sounds like an interesting mixture of flavors. Similar to mine in combining salty, sweet, and chocolate, although mine only has a little salt in the Cheerios. If you wanted to, you could get peanut M&Ms to simplify the mix.

Oddly enough, I usually don't buy peanut or plane "milk" chocolate M&M's anymore. With all the variety they now offer I generally opt for Dark chocolate or Peanut Butter ones. (anybody remember those Wonka "Oompa" candies of the 1970's?)
Also I saw where you mentioned chocolate chips and it gave me an idea. Where I live they sell butterscotch flavoured baking "morsels" and I might consider adding some of those to the mix when not in hot weather where they might melt.

Your post gave me an idea. I got to thinking that my (previously mentioned) mix might be better with a more salty flavor, so I substituted salted cashews and liked it even better. Thanks for the idea!
