Sweet and salty trail mix!

Sweet and salty trail mix - 24 Carrot Kitchen

This sweet and salty trail mix has been a favorite recipe this summer.  Since I have started going on long walks and hikes and it is the perfect snack to take along.  I sometimes take Monkey Munch just to change things up.

I was reading recently about blogs having a purpose and that may have a niche or even sub-niche.   After thinking about this, I would say I would like my blog to be about real whole foods that are relatively easy and fast to prepare.  If there is a healthier version of a dish, that's that one I want to make.  Every day I learn something new and I love sharing this information because I see how it helps my own health.

This 5 Minute Sweet and Salty Trail Mix is an example of quick, easy and healthy.  I throw it together and take it along with me if I know I will be out for a while.  Here are some other places I have taken this trail mix lately:

Traveling - this way I do not have to succumb to snack counters, quick on the go unhealthy snacks from vending machines, etc.. Plus, being gluten and dairy free I can't have most of those snacks anyway.

Hikes/Long Walks - if I will be going on a long walk or hike I usually bring some trail mix (and water) along.

Sporting events - from kids to college games, it is great when I get hungry!

Afternoon snack - in between lunch and dinner, a small serving is just what I need.

Having said all that, since this trail mix has nuts, coconut flakes, and chocolate, it is probably better not to consume large amounts all at once.  I find that a serving is a small scoop that can fit in the palm of my hand, maybe about 1/4 cup or less.  Since trail mix is filling and satiating, that is all it takes.

I hope you enjoy if you try it!

    This disappears too fast, that's my only complaint
