Trail Mix
This trail mix is very quick and easy. No Cooking required. You may already have all of the fruit and nuts that you need in your pantry
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1/2 cup pitted dates
- 1/2 `cup shelled walnuts
- 1/2 cup shelled almonds
- 1/2 cup shelled pecans
Instructions
-
Chop the dried apricots into smaller pieces. I usually cut a dried apricot in half lengthwise and then cut it across the width twice. This results in 6 bite-size apricot pieces that are about the same size as the other ingredients of the trail mix.
-
Chop the dates into smaller pieces using the same method that was used for the apricots.
-
Combine all of the ingredients – raisins, dried cranberries, dried apricots, pitted dates, walnuts, almonds, and pecans – in a large bowl and mix together until well blended.
-
Store in an airtight container until ready to use. I put some of the the trail mix in smaller containers so that I can grab them on the go.
Recipe Notes
- When I prepare this mix for myself, I just weigh the ingredients and use 2 ounces of each item. But for this post, I am using dry measure because not everyone has a good digital scale for measuring ounces.
- Peanuts have not been included in this recipe for two reasons. I don’t keep them on hand and a lot of people are allergic to peanuts.
- I also have not included shelled pistachios, cashews, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds. Even though I love all of them, I don’t usually keep them on hand all of the time either.
