Introduction
I make tasty nut-free trail mixes for healthy snacks. In order to best stabilize blood sugar and provide lasting energy, snacks should be a balance of protein and carbohydrates. Conveniently, this trail mix packs both, along with a healthy dose of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin C, vitamin E, antioxidants, fiber, and other vitamins and minerals. I like goji berries because they are lower in sugar than other dried fruit, good for those of us that need to watch our sugar intake.Don't tolerate some of the ingredients I used? No worries! The recipe is really flexible! Remove whatever ingredients you don't tolerate, and add whatever you else you'd like - you can't mess it up. Make it your own. Crunchy, full of flavor, and loaded with nutrients, this trail mix is a lifesaver. Where can it come in handy?

Wash hands Thoroughly. Cut brazil nuts and apples into smaller pieces. Then put all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. If, usage will be within a few days can divide into 1/3 cup serving sizes and fill snack size bags. Otherwise I recommend storing in glass jars for maximum freshness.
