Healthy homemade trail mix ideas

• You can use any nuts combinations you like!
• Any dried berries that you prefer.
• Any nut/seed butters you have on hand.
• Some other sweeteners (like maple syrup, brown rice syrup) if honey ain’t your thing.
• Substitute any other oils if you don’t wanna add coconut oil.

Add, omit or substitute as your little heart pleases. Just stick by the ratios of dry to wet and the choice is all yours!

Let me give you some more ideas.

Try adding cashews, pecans or peanuts, dried pineapples, apricots or how about some coconut flakes?

If you have any nut allergies try seed butters. You wouldn’t be disappointed!

Even try adding some pretzels or other cereals that you love instead of rice krispies/cornflakes.

Let your imaginations run wild. Your energy won’t get wasted!
