The best trail mix to keep you on the move

Most people realize the importance of eating small amounts frequently to help regulate their metabolism, preferably in the combination of protein and unrefined carbohydrates which suit your metabolism. Even when you planning on taking a short hike, simply pack some trail mix alongside your filled water bottle. Some people require a small (eg 6 nuts) protein top up, others find fruit based energy keeps them going. Most trail mixes cater for both, providing a good protein base for longer-term energy which prolongs the short-term energy boost of the carbohydrates.

Nuts, dried fruits and berries have been man’s choice for centuries, and the combination is a favorite natural pick-me-up for young and old alike. When your out and about, especially spending lots of time out of doors, you’ll find your exertion levels vary according to a number of factors including how much weight you are carrying, your speed, terrain and the climate. In extremely cold weather conditions, you’ll need almost double the number of calories. With the wide range of freeze dried foods and sealed packaging, you can stock up on trail mix to use anytime for a natural alternative to the high sugar, high fat candy bars which have become a staple food item for many households.

Whether you’re headed for the hills, to school or work, a good trail mix will give you that energy boost any time of day. A small handful every couple of hours will keep you energized and on the move, help regulate you metabolism and is far healthier than picking up that quick sugar fix or going without.
