It's easy to make your own trail mix, and use the fruits and nuts that you personally like. Please hit the link and go visit the CacheCrazy blog, where they are featuring my trail mix post.
While you're over there, take a few minutes to check out their great blog. Geocaching is a fun game that gets you outside, and involves a wide variety of activities such as walking, hiking, climbing, problem solving and treasure hunting. The folks at CacheCrazy are a great bunch of people and have been extremely supportive of me and my blog. So please stop by and tell them "Tony sent me!"

ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of your goal and efforts.
Made my own trail mix today, with apple rings, sultanas, apricots an almonds just wondering if there is a certain amount of each one you should have and how many fruit vs nuts you should have...
ReplyDeleteI would limit the nut intake to two servings ( a total of around 32g of fat) in order to control calories. Feel free to eat 3-6 servings of the fruit just be sure that you are in a 200-500 calorie deficit at the end of the day or are steadily loosing .5-1.5 lbs per week. Also, although those ingredients are healthy, dried Fruits offer a large amount of calories for a relatively low volume of food so you may not be filled up well. In this case I would cut the number of servings you chose to eat and instead fill those calories with fresh fruits
