How to Make Sweet and Salty Trail Mix

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Find an old small nut tin

   (The larger the quantity the cheaper they will be per unit, and you can use them in cookies, future batches of trail mix or just as a sweet treat instead of candy).
   
   You can also use cranberries, date pieces, banana chips, blueberries, strawberries, etc...the list is endless but make sure it's sweet and dried so you do not need to refrigerate. , Peanuts, mixed nuts or a favorite nut (any variety) will do. , Some vegans prefer carob chips and non vegans can indulge in any "chip" that they fancy! ,, The trick is to use FINE ground sea salt.
   
   If you do not have this, use your blender or food processor to make it extra fine like french fry salt. , You have a snack that is sweet, salty, healthy, vegan and oh so delicious! ,
