Trail Mix Tips For The Fall

Fall is upon us and a snack that always comes around this time of year is trail-mix. Brenda Garcia with United Supermarkets joined us today to give a few tips on how to make trail-mix delicious and healthy.

Garcia suggested really mixing things up in your trail-mix by using the 80/20 method. That's where 80% of what you eat is healthy and 20% is where you indulge. Garcia suggested using nuts like cashews which contain zinc and walnuts which contain omega 3 acids. She also suggested dried fruit as an ingredient. For the 20% fun stuff, Garcia suggested M&M's, popcorn, and candy corn.

Trail-mix can be a healthy, fun, and delicious snack that is perfect for this time of year. It just screams Fall!

Last week, Garcia talked about recipe fatigue that many of us have fallen into since we have all been cooking more at home since the start of the pandemic. Garcia encouraged listeners to visit happyandnourished.com for different recipe tips and deals on food that you can find at your favorite United Supermarkets location.
