Ingredients

FILLER (3 parts/c) - any inexpensive bulky item will do FUNCTION (2 parts/c) - this should be a mix of protein/fat FUN (1 part/c) - this is anything fun you like (candy, chocolate etc)

Instructions

The key to a good trail mix is to combine ratios properly. You are going to want to combine 3 parts of any bulk-energy-providing items you like - such as rice cereal; with 2 parts of energy sustaining items containing protein and fat, such as seeds and nuts; and 1 part of something fun - this could be candy, or a special exotic dried fruit etc. This is not difficult to do -combine sweet and salty, soft and crunchy, and colorful and plain, and your eyes and tongue will thank you. let your imagination go wild! I have provided some of my favorite mixes below GORP (good ol' raisins and peanuts)

Elvis Mix (peanut and banana)
