One of the most practical nutrition habits you can build is learning to create your own convenience.
Pre-packaged trail mix is easy to grab, but it is also expensive and rarely optimized for your actual needs. A standard store-bought trail mix runs anywhere from $1.50 to $2.50 per ounce, and most of that cost goes toward packaging, branding, and ingredients chosen for shelf appeal rather than nutritional value.
This Warm and Savory Spiced Nut Mix yields about 3.5 cups from a single batch at a fraction of the cost of individually portioned snack packs. More importantly, you control what goes in it.
