My secret ingredient is DOVE® Fruit. DOVE® Fruit combines the health and wellness benefits of silky smooth DOVE® dark chocolate with blueberries, cherries, and cranberries. They are the perfect addition to my homemade trail mix for a sweet and salty snack on-the-go. We don't leave home without it!

This trail mix is super easy to make and makes a better-for-you snack option. I like that I can quickly make this up and portion it out into baggies so we don't have to leave home without a delicious, on-the-go snack to keep our bellies full! To make this trail mix I picked up a bag of dried tropical fruit and added 2 cups to a medium sized mixing bowl. I then added 1 cup almonds and 1 cup macadamia nuts. Feel free to use your favorite nuts in this trail mix.

    I am so picky about what it is my trail mix, but I love EVERYTHING in this one. Adding chocolate covered fruit is always a good move in my book. ;)
