How to Make Your Own Trail Mix

Trail mix is a classic snack for any outdoor adventure.

While you could buy your trail mix at the store, you’re at the mercy of whatever ingredients the brand decides to include. Instead, why not create your own trail mix at home? Not only do you get to customize your mix, but it’s also cheaper. As an added bonus, it’s super simple to make.

Whether you’re looking to enjoy something sweet, savory, or even spicy, Zip Top containers make it easy to store and mix whatever you’re craving. Here are a few delicious recipes you can try out yourself. We didn’t provide any measurements — that way you can add as much or as little of each ingredient as you’d like. Just store each individual ingredient in your Zip Top containers and when you’re ready to make your trail mix, add the ingredients to a large Zip Top dish. Then just zip shut and take on the go.
