Trail Mix Bites

If you love traditional trail mix, these gluten free and vegan Trail Mix Bites are going to quickly become a favorite because they are simple to make, easy to store, and packed with protein! 

I used a two tablespoon cookie scoop to divide the mixture into even sizes to roll into balls, but the mix can just as easily be pressed into a pan and cut into bars. I like the ease of being able to reach into my fridge and grab a quick bite, but if you want to make this recipe for hiking or a boost after a workout, you might prefer the bar option. 

Additionally, I used cranberries, but these can be substituted for raisins; and I used tahini, but this can be substituted for peanut butter.

If you try this recipe, let me know! I would love to see your comments and ratings on this recipe. In addition, you can tag photos of your dishes for me to see on Instagram using #gwynnieclemons.

Best wishes and shalom, friends!

Notes
The serving sizes are basic estimates based upon the servings my husband and I use to reach fullness and satiety when eating this recipe. Please remember to honor your hunger and fullness by eating more when you are hungry and stopping when you are satisfied.
Please, only use doTERRA essential oils internally because they are the only essential oil company with Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) quality!
