Trail Mix

With finals coming up I have been spending a lot of time at school studying and working on projects. I noticed that I was getting hungry after being there after a few hours. I tried going to the little cafe in the Marriott Library but nothing there seem to catch my eye, that was healthy that is. So I came home the other night and decided to make a snack to bring with me while I study. I love trail mix so I looked for healthy recipes. This recipe is so good and the best part is there is endless combinations you can do to make your perfect trail mix.
