National Trail Mix Day

We eat it without thinking about it but trail mix keeps us happy throughout the day.  Every year on August 31, National Trail Mix Day honors this healthy snack created for noshing on hikes in the great outdoors.

What makes trail mix so special? Not only is it a nutritious combination of granola, nuts, dried fruit, and sometimes chocolate, but it’s also lightweight, easy to store, and provides a quick energy boost and sustained energy. So what are you waiting for? Grab a handful and let’s celebrate!
