Oh, I love a good trail mix recipe. This Trail Mix without raisins is my favorite (because it doesn’t have raisins – ha). I’m not a big raisin fan, so in place, we use dried cranberries. Oh so good. This recipe is also a trail mix without peanuts. With raw pecans, almonds, and walnuts with dried bananas, cranberries, and sunfowers seeds, we feel this is the best combo for the perfect bite.
Trail Mix without raisins
Trail mix without raisins is a mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. You can also add chocolate (chips) if you prefer. The beneficial nutrients that your body needs to support a long hike is important to nourish it with the right foods and snacks.
We don’t really recommend what diet for each individiual to be on, but we do recommend this awesome snack. In the past we called it “Abby’s Hit the Trail Mix” because our daughter was the one who came up with this recipe.
