Trail Mix

Coming up with snack ideas on the Daniel Fast can present quite a challenge, especially when everything you'd normally munch on falls in the "Foods to Avoid" category. One of the tried-and-true recipes for healthy snacking is the classic Trail Mix--a tasty, satisfying snack that will give you energy between meals, help curb your appetite, and give you that mid-morning or mid-afternoon boost.
Trail Mix travels well, too. Just scoop some out into a plastic bag. Take it with you to work, school, or whenever you're on the road. That way you won't be tempted to head to the nearest fast food drive-thru when your stomach is growling for a snack.
