When everyone is back at school and extra curricular activities kick in, it can be difficult to find time to have an after school snack, or evening snack ready to go for your kids. The same issue of business applies to our work lives when we are dropping kids off at daycare and rushing to work, it’s hard to find time for breakfast. Making a big batch of trail mix is a great way to prevent your family from reaching for a candy bar in the cupboard when they’re hungry, and instead, grabbing a handful of protein for the road.
