Intro & Trail Mix

It can be so hard to reteach yourself & train yourself how to eat healthy. Every day can be such a battle as you figure out what's healthy & what's not. It can be so hard to chose to eat a salad or piece of fruit or other healthy items. If you're like me you crave flavour. I am trying to follow the rule of "All things in moderation".

That being said, I want to let you know, I'm only starting this new journey/phase & I created this blog to attempt to help others who are in the same boat & to help myself stay on track & stay honest. I need all the help I can get myself.

For my first post I figured I could share a trail mix that I tried recently at my Sister's house, I couldn't find it where I live so I decided to make it.

I went to my local grocery store's bulk section & bought organic whole raw almonds, organic whole raw cashews, organic dried wild blueberries & Greek yogurt chips. I already had Crazins at home, so I didn't need to buy more dried cranberries. I just put it all into a large freezer bag & shook it to mix it. I didn't think I had bought as much as I did, until I went to mix it together. So I ended up mixing it in two freezer bags. 

I really enjoy this trail mix & I don't usually like trail mix. One serving is approximately 1/4 cup. This is so delicious & it's nice to be able to eat it on the go in my hectic, busy life. I chose raw nuts verses roasted nuts because some of the proteins are ruined in the roasting process, (according to Nutritionist Haylie Pomroy). I like this snack because the protein will help you to feel full between meals & it's mostly healthy.

I will add a picture of the mix that I tried at my sister's house & if you can find it then you can buy it instead of making your own.
