One of the rest stops on The Goatneck ride in Cleburne, TX, yesterday gave out little baggies full of trail mix. I could identify sunflower seeds, pecans, walnuts, cashews, and raisins. Maybe there was more, but these are all I remember. I was eating this stuff right around lunchtime, and it totally stopped any hunger pangs. It made me think that maybe I should mix up my own trail mix and use it as a snack or whenever I have an "unfinished" feeling after a meal. Has anyone else tried this sort of thing?

Carefull!
Raisins are a good source of sugar, as is most other dried fruit.
Coconut is often found sweetened.

Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pecans (chopped), protein powder, flax seeds, and flax-o-meal. Mix with Splenda and either cinnamon or unsweetened cocoa to taste. Mix with sunflower oil to coat. Toast in oven for 30 minutes, turning every ten minutes. When cool bag up in 1/4 cup portions. Good after cardio in small quantities. Or if you eat dairy, try on ricotta diluted with more Da Vinci and a bit of water, or on a teaspoon of Greek yoghurt. Don't overdo the nuts or it gets very calorific. No raisins! No coconut unless your metabolism is very much faster than mine. -- Jane Lumley

You have to refrigerate it until the day you use it, but I like to add small cubes of dry salami and hard cheese to my trail mix.
As is true in general with trail mix, you gotta watch portion size unless you're engaged in lengthy aerobic activities. Cheers, Wolf.
