Does anyone have a recipe for a vegetable or veggie kind of trail mix?


I have been unable to find a recipe that is either freeze-dried, or dehydrated. Can anyone help?
Many thanks.

The World's Best Trail Mix

exotic blend is low in calories, helps energize, and curbs hunger

1. Dried cherries (1/4 cup)
Picked from orchards in the Great Lakes region, cherries have twice as many antioxidants as red grapes and may help fight arthritis.

Try: Welch's Dried Cherries, $4; supermarkets

2. Brazil nuts (6 nuts, halved)
The seed of a giant South American Amazon tree, each "nut" contains 10 times the recommended intake of selenium, a mineral with heart-helping antioxidants.

Try: Whole Foods Market Raw Brazil Nuts, $5; Whole Foods stores

3. Dried yacon (1/4 cup)
This Peruvian-grown vegetable looks and tastes like a dried Granny Smith apple. It's high in cancer-fighting flavonoids and digestion-promoting chlorogenic acid.

Try: Navitas Naturals Raw Dried Yacon Slices, $5.95; Whole Foods and Vitamin Shoppe stores

4. Dried goji berries (1/4 cup)
This tart Chinese fruit (think cranberry meets green tea) provides 18 amino acids, which help maintain and repair body cells.

Try: Woodstock Farms Natural Goji Berries, $7; grocery and health food stores

5. Cacao nibs (1/4 cup)
Grown in the rain forests of Ecuador and Peru, this raw chocolate has up to four times the flavonoids of more processed varieties, helping to lower blood pressure. Chocolate-covered nibs are sweeter.

Try: Natural Zing Raw Organic Cacao Nibs, $9.90; naturalzing.com; Dagoba Organic Chocolate Covered Cacao Nibs, $9; select health food stores

6. Jungle peanuts (1/4 cup)
From the Ecuadorian Amazon, these soft and meaty nuts are a good source of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat recently linked to cancer prevention.

Try: Sunfood Nutrition Organic Wild Amazonian Jungle Peanuts, $9; sunfood.com
