True, they've also been warm days -- and I'm not entirely fond of those ;). But they have still been beautiful blue-sky days. Great for soaking up the Vitamin D!
With this time of year come many opportunities to go hiking, back-packing, and camping! And guess what!?! THRIVE Life is awesome for those activities! The foods are light-weight and so convenient! So today I thought I'd share a couple of great hiking snack recipes using lots of THRIVE Life goodies! These are especially great, because in addition to being light-weight, they are packed with great nutrients and protein -- the stuff to keep you going on those hikes!
Mix equal parts:
THRIVE Sausage Crumbles
THRIVE Green Peas
THRIVE Sweet Corn
THRIVE Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Optional: Sprinkle with THRIVE Chef's Choice Seasoning Blend to taste. (We opted out of the seasoning blend and it was still delicious!)
It's recommended you put all this in a bowl or container with a lid and shake, shake, shake (especially if you choose to use the seasoning blend).
The other recipe is one I made up. I call it Tropical Trail Mix. Full of tropical fruits along with granola and nuts (and, of course, some chocolate!), it's a yummy little trail treat!
2 cups Granola of your choice
¼ cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup milk chocolate chips
1/3 cup shredded coconut
2 ¼ cups THRIVE Mango
1 cup THRIVE Pineapple Chunks
1 cup THRIVE Banana Slices, broken
1 cup roasted salted cashews
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients until well-mixed. Enjoy!
I'm pretty excited about these hiking snacks! They aren't just for hiking, of course :). They are great for snacking anytime! A great way to get some fruits and veggies. I just think they are phenomenal for back-packing and hiking, because they do have the ingredients to really boost energy levels and provide great nutrition while doing so!
