Crunchy almonds. Salty peanuts. Sweet raisins. Creamy chocolate. Yummy bits of granola. Trail mix is quite the eclectic union indeed! Initially created as a high energy snack food for hikers, trail mix grew in popularity due to its lightweight and easy storage properties. With the carbs from dried fruits providing a quick pick-me-up, and the fat from the nuts sustaining that energy, this snack serves its purpose well. (Kudos to author Jack Kerouac for his creation, first mentioned in his novel The Dharma Bums.) For National Trail Mix Day, enjoy a healthy alternative to snacking or try creating your own unique snack mix. Also, consider using this holiday to brush up on client appreciation! If you are unfamiliar with this concept, begin by thinking of a client, or someone special, who deserves a ‘thank you.’ Send our Coeur de Passion Gift Box, filled with a variety that is sure to wow them!
