Summer Snacking Series – Week 2: Trail Mix

July 9, 2025

We’re back with another tasty, travel-friendly idea from our Summer Snacking Series—because summer is meant for sunshine, not stressing over what to pack in the cooler!

Whether you're hiking, road-tripping, or heading to the ball field, trail mix is the ultimate grab-and-go snack. It's easy to make, endlessly customizable, and packed with a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats to keep your energy up between meals.

This week, we're sharing a simple Trail Mix Recipe that hits all the right notes—sweet, salty, crunchy, and satisfying. Best of all? You can make a big batch ahead of time and portion it into individual bags or containers for easy access.

🌟 Pro Tip: Let the kids help build their own mix with favorite add-ins like dried fruit, seeds, whole grain cereal, or dark chocolate chips. It’s a great way to get them involved and more likely to enjoy their healthy snack!

Stay tuned for next week’s featured recipe in our travel-friendly snack series, brought to you by Jefferson County Health Center—Care You Can Count On, Wherever Summer Takes You.
