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