This is the trail mix Fred put together to take on the plane for his trip to California. Nuts and seeds are an excellent choice for traveling. He made enough to snack on throughout the week. In fact, one day at the conference, the lunch they provided was terrible quality (a footlong hotdog wrapped in bacon) and so he was able to eat trail mix and an apple for lunch instead. Though this was a light lunch, it was enough to get him by until dinner.
The quantities for this trail mix do not have to be measured, adjust as you wish and vary the ingredients. The raisins and sesame sticks are a great addition to add a bit of sweetness and some crunch.
Ingredients:
Organic walnut pieces
Organic pecan pieces
Organic pumpkin seeds
Organic sunflower seeds
Organic raisins
Whole wheat sesame sticks
A few grinds of sea salt
Place all ingredients except sea salt in a bowl (make sure you have plenty of extra room in the bowl to mix). Mix ingredients together and then place a few grinds of sea salt over the top. Mix thoroughly again, and then add a couple more grinds of sea salt.
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I am planning to make this for our vacation. We leave in 6 days. Would you suggest refrigerating this mixture since it won't be used for several days?
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteWould you use the moist Celtic sea salt or the drier Himilayan Pink Salt? I just want to get it perfect. :) Krista
Krista, It is delicious!!! I would use the moist sea salt if you have it so it sticks better (or else all the salt ends up in the bottom of the bowl). You could refrigerate it if you keep it refrigerated or else just keep it in an air conditioned place (but put it in a cooler when traveling if it is going to sit in a hot parked car). Have a great trip!
