Trail mix is a combination of dried fruit nuts and sometimes chocolate developed as a snack food to be taken along on hikes.Trail mix is considered an ideal snack food for hikes because it is lightweight easy to store and nutritious providing a quick energy boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruit or granola and sustained energy from fats in nuts.Both Hadley Fruit Orchards and Harmony Foods (two California growers) claim that trail mix was first invented in 1968 by two California surfers who blended peanuts and raisins together for an energy snack.
