Homemade Trail Mix

Nichole1981

Does anyone have a good, low cal, trail mix recipe that I can make at home? I am trying to mix up my snacks. Thanks!

To be true trail mix it would have nuts, which are very healthy but nowhere near low cal.

Trail mix really isn't low cal. It's made with nuts and dried fruit. Very calorie dense foods. It's healthy. And there are ways to take some calories out of it. But it really should be eaten in limited quantities.

That being said. I make a granola and then add other stuff to it.

1 1/4 cups of rolled oats. Mixed with 4 tbsp honey. I bake it at 250 and stir frequently for about 30 minutes. It's not as sweet as granola usually is, but I like it.

Then I will add a combination of:

craisins
raisins
almond slivers
pecan pieces
sunflower seeds
pumpkin seeds
coconut

I also dehydrate some fruit like apples, strawberries, blueberries etc. I'll throw in whatever I have on hand of those too.
