Yum!

This seems more like a post for summer...but I have the information NOW so here we go!

This is from our friends at Men's Health. You know the traditional trail mix (M&M's, peanuts, raisins) is a great little snack that hits the spot? Here is a protein packed version to try out...

1 cup popped popcorn
1/2 cup pretzel sticks
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
1/2 cup walnut halves
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dries apricots, chopped
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup beef jerky, chopped
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

In small bowl, combine spices and mix well. In a larger bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well. In a large zip-top bag, combine the nut and spice mixture. Toss to coat.

Maybe this would be a great stocking stuff? Or just a belly stuffer......
