Nuts and seeds are such a delicious way to get Omega fatty acids while maximizing flavor and satiety. Trader Joe’s has a wonderful selection of nuts and seeds, but one of my favorites is the Go Raw Trek Mix. This simple, yet unprocessed, mix brings together raw nuts like almonds (full of Vitamin E), walnuts (good source of selenium), cashews (known for magnesium content), and hazelnuts (a surprising source of thiamine), not to mention the plump sweetness of raisins. You’ll get a nice crunch with a burst of sweetness in every bite.
Pack this mix into individual packs in Ziplock bags and take them with you to work, school, on errands, or when you’re out being active. They travel well in the purse, in a backpack, and even when camping. I like to take them with me on day hikes, beach trips, and picnics.
The nice thing about this mix is that it is completely raw – no extra sugar added or oil to roast the nuts. You’ll get the most nutritional bang for your buck!
The Bottom Line:
Would I Recommend Trader Joe’s Go Raw Trek Mix?
Yes, I recommend these as a nutrient rich source of fats and vitamins and minerals to help refuel the body on outdoor excursions!
Would I Buy Trader Joe’s Go Raw Trek Mix Again?
Yes, they come in handy in so many situations and they are so convenient!
Final Thoughts:
This mix is so versatile that you could use it to create nutrition bars, sprinkle it on top of yogurt, or use it as a base for ‘paleo’ granola.
