It's still warm out all over the United States, and despite the fact some states have already send their kids back to school, many people are still enjoying the great outdoors in the form of biking, swimming, hiking, or maybe you're an all-year morning run person.

You may like to carry around trail mix with you--a quick snack that survives hot weather and provides instant nourishment, but are you eating a healthy trail mix? 

If it has candy pieces in it, probably not.

Introducing SunRidge Farms trail mixes.

Organic Supreme Almonds – Loaded with the good monounsaturated fats, these crunchy almonds are packed with nutrition and are an excellent source of protein and energy. SunRidge Farms’ Supreme Almonds are grown in California and certified USDA organic. Perfect on-the-go snack to take with you on a hike or for a day at the park.

Organic Hit the Trail Mix – this “king of the trail” mix is SunRidge Farms’ most popular trail mix. The perfect mix of nutritious ingredients, it includes the following certified organic ingredients: Roasted Tamari Almonds, sunflower seeds, cashews, raisins, peanuts and pumpkin seeds.

Organic Deluxe Trail Mix – SunRidge Farms’ first-ever product – and still popular 30 years later -- is great on the go, for hiking, biking and other summer activities. The trail mix is a delicious blend of organic dried apricots, organic roasted peanuts, organic raw almonds, organic dried apples, organic walnuts, organic date pieces, organic sunflower seeds and organic raisins. The result is a snack that tastes delicious, is packed with fiber, iron and a host of other nutrients.

They are organic, sugar and gluten free, and without preservatives, TransFats, and all that nasty stuff. They're also made in a solar-powered factory.

This may seem like a short review, but I honestly have nothing critical say to say about these. I was disappointed at first to discover there was no chocolate in the bags, but quickly came to realize, it didn't need it. A few handfuls satisfies one's hunger. I don't have to eat the entire bag to be happy. I can't which ingredient is hitting the spot, but it is. I'm also surprised at how much flavor the mix has without sugar and all that bad stuff. 

That packaging is also convenient. Love the zipper. I can eat a little bit, zip up the bag, and keep it fresh until I want it again.
