    Are Trail Mixes Nuts Good For You?

    Nuts are a good source of heart-healthy unsaturated fats, while seeds are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. But like anything should be eaten in moderation so yes in moderation the nuts you add to trail mix can definitely be good for you.

    Is Trail Mix Good For You?

    Trail mix is a type of snack mix that typically includes a variety of nuts, dried fruit, and sometimes chocolate. But is trail mix good for you? The answer depends on the ingredients. If your trail mix is high in sugar and low in healthy fats, then it's not the best choice.
