nut mix

Nut mix is the trail-style snack for people who want salt, crunch and a bit of protein in one bag. By our assessment, it works best because it is portable, portionable and much less messy than many other snack foods. The weak point is the usual one: the salt and roasting can push the calories up fast, and mixes often hide a few favored nuts among cheaper fillers or extras. In hand it is straightforward food, the kind you open and keep reaching into without ceremony. Compared with plain nuts, a mix can be more interesting; compared with candy, it is less sweet and more filling. nut mix fits quick snacks, travel and desk drawers, but it is not the thing for someone trying to keep a very tight eye on salt or portions.
