For our recent camping trip I decided to make homemade trail mix. I love trail mix, and it makes a great quick high protein snack. But it isn’t cheap, and by making my it myself I can leave out some of the less healthy ingredients that are usually included. This recipe was modified from a recipe in Cooking Light. I changed some of the ingredients to make it less spicy and added one bag of M & Ms, since my kids don’t think it is trail mix if it doesn’t have some candy.

  1. My kids are like yours – it's not trail mix without the candy! I've never tried the edamame – but I'm excited to try!
