Delightful Trail Mix


Need a snack fix that won't destroy all that hard work you've been putting in at the gym? Go for my own, easy trail mix recipe for a snack that'll satisfy your sweet, salty 'n' crunchy cravings all in one!

What you'll need:

1 bag of Ghiradelli 70% cocoa chocolate chips
1 small bag chopped walnuts
1 small bag of organic shredded coconut
2 cups of whole grain cereal like Kashi or Fiber one  (or you can substitute 2 cups whole oats)
1 cup dried fruit (raisins, cranberries, etc.)

Combine in a large zip-lock bag and shake up the ingredients.

Then, you can grab a handful whenever that craving hits you : )


*Add in flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, Goji berries or a dash of cinnamon for some extra flavor. Make it YOUR trail mix the way you like it!

Yep Ki! This was the one...I have to say it definitely got us through many long rides. Although our singing and crazy stories helped as well : )
