March is National Nutrition Month, and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a healthy on-the-go snack. Trail Mix is such a great go-to for those of us who like to eat right and want something to take with us on-the-go. It’s also great to have this on hand to curb a gnawing appetite between meals or as a quick pick-me-up. This recipe is perfect – full of protein to get you energized, fiber to keep you full and healthy, and deliciousness to keep you coming back for more. You can change it up by adding your favorite nuts and seeds, too!
