Is it really 33% nuts, 33% raisins or dried cranberries, and 33% chocolate? Or is it a different percentage? I think it may be 40-40-20, or 35-35-30.
100% chocolate. Shoot I’m just eating straight chocolate chips. Again.
Absolutely agree. The other things are just garbage and a waste of energy to consume. If for some reason you find yourself with trail mix that isn’t all chocolate, what you want to do is just heat up the trail mix over a strainer and let all the chocolate fall thru. Let the chocolate cool, throw away the rest, and then eat the remaining chocolate once it hardens. Enjoy the best trail mix ever.
It’s whatever ratio you like! I go heavier on the nuts because I can pretend it’s healthier.
“they’re healthy fats! You gotta get your healthy fats in” I say around a full mouth of cashews and macadamia nuts, my fifth such handful
Probably is. Raisins makes many people’s blood sugar levels shoot thru the roof. It’s basically candies. The only issue with nuts is that it’s easy to over eat them and they’re hugely calorie dense
Calorie density is the entire point of trail mix. It’s not a bad thing.
Makes sense.
1% spider so you don’t eat too much in one go
But protein though?
That’s way too much chocolate for my tastes. I like a low like 5% so you don’t get it every handful.
Mine is more like… 60% nuts, 30% raisins, 10% chocolate, by weight.
Mine is usually 100% chocolate, 0% nuts, 0% fruit. Oops
25% chocolate, 25% peanuts, 25% caramel, 25% nougat = health food of the gods
Is that a Snickers bar?
I like to think of it as a portable trail mix loaf.
Holy shit, mine too!
I once had a high school science teacher tell us that trail mix was a homogeneous mixture because there was an equal amount of each ingredient. He was ridiculously incorrect of course but that stuck with me lol.
0-50-50 because I’m allergic to nuts lol
Fruit and chocolate is a heavenly combo.
60 30 10?
Cassandra would like to have a word with you.
Who?
She’s the main character a book series called “The Secret” by Pseudonymous Bosch.
Very fun and REALLY cool series.
Cassandra has a trail mix that contains chocolate chip and banana as well.
Banana chips are tasty.
Absolutely. As an Indian, it’s a very common snack here…
I don’t like chocolate in mine at all.
The trick is to put knobs on your helmet that control the ratios. That way your trail mix steam can be altered based on the situation.
A helmet? While walking on a trail?
