I know I’ve talked about this before, but I’m a trail mix fanatic! The whole idea for my blog name actually came from me snacking on trail mix nonstop in college. My roommate always said I was eating bird food and a few years later when I was brainstorming blog names, the bird food idea came up and it stuck. It fits!

I’m actually eating some as I write this post and I have to admit that it’s pretty darn good. The combo of turned out even better than I expected. The goji berries and cacao nibs add just the right amount of sweetness and the pistachios and macadamia nuts give it that crunch factor!

  1. yes. Is this the current contest? b/c the post on nuts.com is from a while ago. I now see your directions above, but when I see it was an old post that already ended, now not sure! your help much appreciated.

  2. That’s really cool that you can make your own custom trail mix through their website! The best thing about this snack is that it’s great for “grab and go” and takes less than 2 seconds to put together. So convenient!
