Popcorn and Goji Berry Trail Mix

I’m a busy mom and I’m always on-the-go. When I’m out and about I like to carry around a little snack to hold me over until meal time. I enjoy eating trail mixes and enjoy switching up the flavors to keep things interesting. After all, who wants to eat the same thing over and over again? Not me!

Today’s guest post recipe is courtesy of Popcorn.org and is a unique twist on the traditional homemade trail mix recipe. It utilizes popcorn, two different type’s of nuts, dried fruit and chocolate for the added sweetness. The recipe will make approximately 12 cups.
