Notes
Use the Four Elements for Perfect Trail Mix to make the best mix: Nuts, Seeds, Dried Fruit and one or two Fun, Flavorful Elements.
To really zest up your trail mix, sprinkle with a herb or flavoring when you have completed the mix. Something like a touch of cocoa, cinnamon or even thyme is delicious!
For folks who have issues with portion control, add more low calorie elements like popcorn to the mix.
