Trail Mix:

It’s a quick, easy, and nutritious snack. Purchased at the store trail mix can be rather expensive. This trail mix recipe will save your grocery bills by spending just a half an hour cooking.  It can also be used as a breakfast cereal, in a pinch.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups oats
  • ½ cup wheat germ
  • ½ cup raw nuts of your choice
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup slivered or chopped raw almonds
  • ½ cup raisins
  • ½ cup coconut (shredded or chunks)
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Trail Mix Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Mix first seven ingredients.
  3. Melt coconut oil and mix in vanilla, honey, and cinnamon.
  4. Pour oil mixture over dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. Spread evenly on oiled baking sheet.  Bake for 15-20  minutes, stirring 1-2 times.  Watch carefully as everyone’s oven heats differently and you don’t want it to burn.
  6. Cool.  Break up any lumps.  Store in airtight container.

Kellie Hill received her Bachelor of Arts from Willamette University in Speech Communication and a Bachelor of Science from Kaplan University in Nutrition, Health & Wellness.  She has a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Certificate from Nutritional Therapy Association. Kellie has earned a Personal Trainer Certificate from American Sports & Fitness Association.

 

Kellie's philosophy is that there is no one-size fits all diet. Because of bio-individuality (each one of us is different), most diets will work for some people and not for others. We need to eat nutrient dense, whole foods that have been properly prepared - real food, as close to the form it was originally grown/raised in, prepared in a way that preserves or even enhances the nutritional value of the food.

 

She believes that it is important to investigate how the body is using the food as well as understanding what is happening in the bigger context of an individuals life.  She knows that we are obviously more than what we eat and that can have a very big impact on how the body deals with food. Kellie helps her clients identify and move toward their personal ultimate health goals.
