A well-rounded mix of trail mixes is an excellent choice for healthy, no-cook snacks. Depending on the recipe, it can be as simple as a few ingredients mixed together or as complex as a combination of dried fruit, oats, and nuts. You can make many different types of trail mixes to suit your tastes and needs.
Making your own trail mix is as simple as choosing the right ingredients. You can use the classic oats and nuts or mix in various healthy ingredients, such as seeds, dried fruit and pretzels. To make it even more tasty, you can add the correct amount of dry milk. Your creation can be stored in a container that has a tight fitting lid or in your backpack. This will allow you to take it with you wherever you go. For those who plan on eating your creation on the move, it might be worth adding some toppings such as peanut butter, almonds or granola.
A backpack can hold many different kinds of food. To make backpacking meals, you can use oatmeal. Combine the two ingredients in a microwaveable rice concoction for a heartier meal. You can also include your favorite dried items such as chicken, bacon, ham, and other meats into the recipe. You can serve this creation with a variety different hot sauces, spices, and for a delicious twist, even a bacon or chicken ham. This allows for you to pack lighter meals and make it easier to cook on the go.
There are many ways you can get the best out of your money while still enjoying the joys of the trail. This is best done by selecting ingredients that are long-term storage friendly. You can store the ingredients in either a bag or a container with a tight-fitting lid. Another way is to break up your mix into small bite-sized portions. This allows you the freedom to choose from the many flavors available without worrying about losing their nutritional value or getting them stale.
