Ratios are suggested, rather than measured amounts. Have fun winging it!

Note: You have the option to lightly toast the seeds and nuts before adding them. The flavor will be just that much deeper.

Ingredients

  • 2 parts Kashi™ cereal (my favorites are Strawberry Fields™ and Kashi® granolas)
  • 2 parts almonds
  • 2 parts walnuts
  • 2 parts sunflower seeds
  • 1 part pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 part organic raisins
  • 1/2 part dried organic cranberries

Directions

  1. Put all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine thoroughly.
  2. Store finished mix in individual sandwich bags with 1/2 cup of trail mix in each. Take one bag with you each day when you’re eating on the go.

    This trail mix recipe looks good, and I think it will be a good diabetic friendly snack, especially with the amount of protein, and fiber it contains. All ingredients are healthy choices, and contain the “good fats”.

    I don’t usually comment on old posts and certainly never join a site to comment but I have to ask…. What are ‘parts’ in this recipe above?
    Firstly not all the Kashi cereals have the same nutritional value per serving and what if my ‘parts’ are a 4 cup measuring bowl? and someone else uses a single cup measuring bowl?
    Are there still 10 servings in each recipe at only 280 calories? If so I want the first one!
    Please edit this to be more specific or delete it so you don’t give people bad information.

    Thanks

    I love using Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat in my trail mixes! It has the perfect amount of crunch.

    I love this recipes because I can control how much of what I put in! If I love pumpkin seeds I can put as much as I want in!
