We all need easy, nutritious snack ideas for families. One of my personal favorites is a healthy homemade trail mix. I love the endless amount of flavor combinations you can try (no getting bored!).

Good quality homemade trail mix, in moderation is 100% part of a healthy diet. This is especially true in those circumstances of high physical activity where you need energy fast. As the name suggests, trail mix is perfect to eat on the trail while hiking or after a workout session. A good trail mix includes healthy fats and antioxidants from nuts and seeds, quality dried fruit for energy, and the fun tasty stuff. Being healthy doesn’t need to mean sacrificing on fun.
