The Easiest On-the-Go Trail Mix

Seeing that I work part time, spend tons of time working on this blog, have two kids, and various other things going on, I am always looking for great new snacks. I am often in the car, and if I don’t have something to munch on when I get hungry, I start craving sweets and fast food- not good!  When I heard about the new Honey Maid Go Bites, I knew they would be the perfect addition to the Easiest On-the-Go Trail Mix recipe!

I say this is the Easiest Trail Mix, because it is; it’s SUPER easy.  Trail mix is one of those things that you can just throw in whatever you have in the pantry, and call it a day.  Often times though, I get tired of the standard nuts, chocolate, raisin combination.  By adding these Honey Maid Go Bites, in vanilla and chocolate, I added a delicious crunch and the familiar graham cracker flavor without all the crumbs. That is one thing I love about these bites; they don’t crumble everywhere!

For this trail mix I used raisins, Honey Maid Go Bites (in chocolate and vanilla flavors), chocolate chips, peanuts, almonds, and yogurt covered raisins. This trail mix packs a big punch of healthiness, too. My son, who is the pickiest eater in the world even loves it, which is awesome because Honey Maid Go Bites provide about 15% of both the recommended daily value of whole grains and protein. They also are baked with whole grains and contain no high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors or colors, which really puts my mind at ease. Honey Maid Go Bites are available in both chocolate and vanilla flavored fillings, and I used both in this recipe because they are so tasty.

Another reason I love Trail Mix is because it’s so versatile. If you don’t like one ingredient, leave it out or substitute it for something else; or you can add more things that you love. What are your favorite trail mix additions?
