Cinnamon Spice Trail Mix

I. LOVE. SNACKING… but it can be hard when you get that little rumble in your tummy not to just reach for something on the “less healthy” side if you’re not prepared.

Creating different trail mixes so you have something healthy to grab is SO easy.  I bet you have most of the ingredients on hand already!  This is also an easy snack to customize for family members with different preferences by just omitting, adding and swapping ingredients!  Get your kids involved and teach them how quick & easy it is to create simple & healthy & DELICIOUS snacks!

Recipe Notes

• If using whole nuts, break them down to smaller sizes!  Throw them all in a zip-lock bag and whack them with a meat tenderizer...just be careful you don't turn them in to dust!
• If using unsalted sprouted sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds, increase salt in recipe to 1 tsp instead of 1/2 tsp.
• Whenever possible, buy raw nuts, then soak and dehydrate them.  This makes them so much easier to digest by breaking down the Phytic Acid.  It's super easy to do and you can use your oven if you don't have a dehydrator.
• You can also substitute 2-3 drops of cinnamon essential oil for the dried cinnamon.
