Trail mix is great.  It’s got protein.  It’s got carbs.  It’s got salt.  It’s designed to make you eat when you’re suffering from altitude sickness.  Did you know that?  I heard that somewhere.

So I made up a batch to help me climb the Inca Trail.  And it worked!  That’s prety awesome!

Here’s my recipe:

1 part raw almonds

1 part salted, roasted peanuts

1 part date pieces in oat flour

1 part dried apple pieces (little pieces work best)

1/2 part m&m’s (milk chocolate)

You can get most of this in bulk, which means it’s cheap.  The m&m’s I like better than the bulk candies.  The date pieces in oat flour are easy to find.  You’ve probably just looked at them and thought “eeewwww, yucky,” but they’re really tasty in trail mix.  And they don’t melt.

Mix everything together and enjoy!
