I used to eat a handful of 'trail mix' with my lunch every day but I gave it up last yr
I realized what I was eating was too salty,fattening.I eat carrot sticks instead
The good thing about trail mix is you don't have to go hike a trail to enjoy it. I never understood why it was any different than an assortment of nuts and dried fruits people keep on their coffee table. Maybe it just sounds healthier.
What's the difference with granola and trail mix? Granola has baked oats right? We made home made granola for years and put everything in it. So it was kind of a mixture of trail mix and granola ( trainola ). We baked it with a mixture of pancake and corn syrup also.
