A delicious Breakfast Trail Mix with maple cinnamon roasted nuts, coconut flakes and dried berries. Perfect for eating on its ownĀ or as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal.Ā
Umm, today is National Trail Mix Day andĀ although I knowĀ there are a ton of crazy food holidaysĀ randomly placed throughout the year, I canāt NOT celebrate today. Trail mix is one of myĀ all-timeĀ favorite snacks and even inspired the name of this blog.
So yeah, weāreĀ totally celebratingĀ trail mix day. I hope you like it. š
Even if youāre not a huge fan of food holidays, I KNOW you are going to love this trail mix blendĀ because itās basically a breakfast delight inĀ trail mix form with maple and cinnamon, two of the best breakfastĀ flavors on theĀ planet, lots of crunchy nuts,Ā toasted coconut and dried berries.
Itās addictive, as all trail mix tends to be, so just be sure to measure out your Ā¼- ā cup portion or else you might eat theĀ whole batch in one sitting. <ā Just trust me on this one. I took one for the team.
I love to snack on trail mix as an afternoon snack, but this breakfast blend is perfect in the morning. I like to use it as a topping for yogurt or oats (like granola) or have it as a side with whatever else I’m having. It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea.
That said, you can also toss the trail mix in a container or plastic baggie and munch it on the way to work or the gym! Itās super portable and doesnāt create a bunch of crumbs so itās the perfect car snack.
If youāre short on time or donāt want to worry with roasting the trail mix you can totally make a raw version, Ā toss the nuts, coconut and dried fruit together with the cinnamon and sea salt. Just skip the maple syrup and vanilla or else youāll have a sticky mess on your hands. #whyamisticky
I hope you like this little mix as much as I do!

September 9, 2016 at 1:39 pmYes!! Good minds think alike. I took this mix with me to see Hell or High Water last weekend and it was the perfect movie snack!!
Mountainbird says
September 3, 2016 at 1:44 amIt looks great. I definitely would have to put out a 1/4 or realistically 1/2 cup of it. And hide the rest from myself ! I don’t eat meat and nuts are my great source of protein a well as what is in fruits and veggies.
