Until recently I was not aware of something called Trail mix. The first time I saw this was in Suma’s blog – Veggie Platter and I loved this snack idea. I learnt that Trail mix is a mixture of seeds, nuts, dried fruits and sometime chocolate that is taken along during outdoor treks.Wiki tells me that it is favored by hikers as it is a good source of energy, easy to carry and easy to store.


I had bookmarked it but never got around to making it in spite of the simplicity.Luckily Srivalli paired me with Suma and I made this from her blog for this week’s Blogging marathon where we get to cook from a partner blog….

I just made a small portion not really sure if Lil Angel would like this mix. She usually prefers individual stuffs. But when she saw that she jumped shouting ‘Yummy yum!’…..

Recipe source – Veggie Platter

I used a mix of

  • Cashews
  • Almonds
  • Choco chips
  • Raisins
  • M & M’s
  • Melon candy
  • Tutti frutti

Need I even mention that my Lil one loved it!!!



Note :

  • Suma says you can add can add pretzels, any dried frui, nut of your choice, toasted coconut,peanuts etc…

Take a look at the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#28

Bon Appetit…
