Food for the Trail: 3 Single Serve Trail Mix Ideas
Trail mix is a nutritious and quick energy boost. It was first recommended by outdoorsman Horace Kephart as early as 1910 in his camping guide. Since then, the combination of granola, dried fruits, nuts and sometimes chocolate make it a popular choice for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Lightweight and easy to store, trail mix is a healthy snack for anyone. So, whether you’re hiking the trail, at the office, or need a healthy snack for your hungry campers, trail mix is a delicious, convenient choice.
Check out these 3 quick and easy ways to package trail mix.
Perfect for Travel and Reuse
On the trail or taking a trip? This clear zipper pouch gusset bag works great for holding trail mix when you are on the go. The resealable pouch is simple to open and close for a quick nibble. Apply a hole punch and tie it together with brown twine. Add a custom label to finish off your presentation.
Save this pouch and reuse it for the next time you hit the trail. You may want to skip the label so you can reuse this packaging for other items.
