Notes
Spice it up: Add in some chili flakes or hot pepper flakes if you want a touch of heat to contrast with the tropical fruits.
Watch the sugar: All dried fruit contains natural fruit sugars and some contain added sugars too. If this is a concern, you should check the dried fruit packaging. Another idea is to use less fruit and more nuts and seeds in the tropical trail mix. As someone with Type 1 diabetes, I always look for dried fruit with low amounts of added sugar.
Store it in individual portions: Use these zip-top sandwich bags or handy Stasher silicone bags to make individual servings of trail mix because it's too simple to over-eat this snack!
