Coconut Ginger Trail Mix

Coconut Ginger Trail Mix Via Leslie ReeseI''m a huge fan of trail mix. I guess it's the combination of flavors and textures along with the never ending variety of ingredients that keeps me interested. It's an easy grab and go snack and when life gets busy, easy is good. I recently found this recipe over at Tasting Table. I love the idea of blending toasted nuts with coconut and ginger and when you toss it with agave nectar and egg whites you've got a really tasty and nutritionally balanced snack. If you're not a fan of curry, which is also tossed in, you can experiment with your favorite spices. That's the fun thing about trail mix, anything goes! Happy Friday!

I've got a hiking trip coming up and even though it's just a day trip I will most likely be tucking some trail mix into my bag that day. So whether you're going on a hike, sitting at the kids soccer games, or just have a busy work schedule, trail mix is always a good idea!

Have a fantastic weekend,
