Oh, trail mix. Whether it’s your go-to healthy fuel for a hike or a long day at work, it’s undeniable that grabbing a bag of trail mix is extremely convenient. Besides, there’s nuts and dried fruit, so it’s healthy, right? Well, not exactly. Unfortunately, most trail mixes available at the store are loaded with candy, yogurt-covered fruit and nuts, and filled with salt. That means that just two servings of the stuff can mean over 600 empty calories added to your daily diet.
Healthy options are possible, they just take longer to find. Alternatively, you can buy your fruit and nuts in bulk and make your own. Just keep the servings small and your options light.
