Trail Mix 5 Ways

 

I was very excited to work with World Market on a fun sponsored road trip snacks campaign just in time for summer.  Anyone planning a few road trips in the coming weeks?  I am!

Snacks are an important component to a successful road trip as they keep everyone happy and energized. I love snacks that I can munch on that are semi-healthy and fun and trail mix totally fits that bill.  This isn’t your standard trail mix though my friends!  I have five twists on standard trail mix that are simple and perfect for your summer travel.

Ready?  Let’s go!

World Market Snacks

I headed into my local World Market in Roseville, CA for some unique ingredients to mix up my trail mix, find your local store by clicking here.  There are so many options in the Gourmet Food & Drinks aisles from nuts to seeds to bar mix to popcorn and candy… I put all sorts of combos together to see what might work. Plus I found these cool Sistema reusable containers to pop everything into.  Winning!

Here are the combos that I liked the best:

Sugar Fix Trail Mix

The Sugar Fix. 

Oh yes my friends there is nothing like a copious amount of sugar for a road trip!  Our family loves gummy candies and licorice in particular so with that in mind, I created this trail mix that is really, really good when you just need a sugar fix.

1 cup Kettle Corn
1/4 cup Guittard Milk Chocolate Chips
1/4 cup World Market Watermelon Slices (I cut mine into thirds)
1/4 cup Roasted Peanuts
1/4 cup Mini Pretzels

 

Protein Pack

This one is for my big girl and my husband. Both love salty things and pepperoni sticks are a guaranteed hit. I used Baguette Crisps from World Market and they are darn good!  Look for those for sure the next time you shop.

1 cup Baguette Crisps in Garlic, Chives and Parsley (roughly chopped)
2 Pepperoni Sticks
1/4 cup Roasted Almonds
1 generous tablespoon Sunflower Seeds

Healthy Trail Mix

Next up is a healthier option that still feels like a treat and also has quite a bit of protein to keep the energy levels up.  This is a great one for long days exploring or hiking or to pop into your gym bag.

1 cup Cashews
1 tablespoon Sunflower Seeds
1/2 cup Somersault Sunflower Seed Crisps (these are really good and World Market carries several flavors- I used Cocoa)
1/2 cup Patience Fruit & Co mixed fruit- dried cranberries, Wild Blueberries, Goldenberries and Dried Cherries.

Sweet and Salty Trail Mix

Sweet and salty is another big favorite of mine. This is a fantastic treat if you have a sweet tooth.

1/2 cup Raisins
1/2 cup Cashews
1/4 cup Guittard Vanilla Chips
1/4 cup Mini Pretzels
1/4 cup Roasted Almonds
1 package Marich Toffee Almond Chocolates

Chipotle Lime Trail Mix

And the Chipotle Lime version is my little girl’s favorite. She loves a little kick of spice and this one has just a little chipotle plus I like to drizzle fresh lime juice and sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top. Yum!

1 cup World Market Chipotle Lime Cashews
1/4 cup Mini Pretzels
1/4 cup Roasted Peanuts
1/3 cup Corn Nuts

And that is it! I did include the measurements I used but you can certainly modify those according to your own preferences.   And once you prep your mix, pop them in the Sistema containers and boom!  Ready to roll.  No messy little baggies here friends.

Road Trip Snacks

Pack these guys up in a tote or cooler and your Road Trip Snacks are all set for travel!
