Trail Mix Nutrition Facts and Diet Info

Trail mix or scroggin is a snack mix. The good nutrition in trail mix comes primarily from nuts and dried fruit. It is a mixture of nuts, granola, dried fruit, and sometimes candy.

Trail mix is considered an ideal snack food for hikes because it is easy to store, lightweight, and very nutritious, providing a quick energy boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruit or granola, and sustained energy from fats in nuts.
