Trail mix is a snack made for elevation. In honor of National Trail Mix Day, we’re helping you power up your next hike with a crunchy, protein-packed snack that adds Good Things Coming fruit jellies to an already delicious granola, no baking required. 

So what do you get when you reach into your rucksack before taking on that next switchback? Well, you get to go nuts. Specifically, cashews, almonds and peanuts that are full of antioxidants and fiber. There’s also the plethora of vitamins and minerals provided by oats, and the anti-inflammatory benefits of cinnamon. Overall, you’d be hard pressed to find a snack that packs together so many natural, nutritious food sources in one sweet and savory package.

With Good Things Coming Very Cherry CBD fruit jellies added to the mix, you can be sure that your next trek will bring you closer to nature and leave you feeling lighter on your hiking shoes. Check out our No Bake Trail Mix Bar recipe from Chef Teresa Hansen:
