The other night my husband and I decided to make our own version of a healthier trail mix. By making your own trail mix you can skip out on so much added sugar, have a fresher taste, and its delicious! Start by preheating the oven to 325 and placing 1 cup of almonds in a bowl.
Add 1 Tablespoon of Agave or Honey and the zest of 1 large orange
Add half a cup of unsweetened coconut and stir until all the almonds are coated completely.
Place the mixture on a foil lined baking sheet and place the almonds in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. While the almonds are in the oven you can mix together the rest of your trail mix. You can basically use whatever you want in your trail mix as long as all your choices are measured out equally. I used one cup of unsweetened dried fruit (blueberries and raisins) one cup of sunflower seeds, and one cup of yogurt chips. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and when the almonds are done, add them to your other choices!
Enjoy!
