I buy trail mix and love it. It comes in all varieties but basically it is nuts, raisins, dried fruit, and various morsels of candies. It satisfies my sweet tooth without overeating. I substitute a handful of trail mix for a slice of cake or bowl of ice cream. I can also add it to oatmeal and other dishes.
Some people think it is not nutritious or hate it because they don't like one of the ingredients or dried fruit has increased calories.
Do you like trail mix or do you think it is a bad thing to eat?

I do like trail mix and it's a good choice when craving something sweet. I especially like dried fruit so this works for me

I like it, but I rarely eat it. It seems like it is easy to eat too much.

We get those here as well but wonder why they are called tail mix in your country.

@anamika161088 I often do substitute the trail mix for something else. If I get a chocolate attack, I bring out the indulgent mix and eat a small amount. It is much less chocolate than in the candy bar.

@akalinus yeah.. Dried fruits are rich in minerals and vitamins. Other snacks with high carbs and fats can be easily replaced with this trail mix

I haven't tried it because I might not like the taste. But I love dried fruits and raisins.

I don't think it's a bad thing, but usually only have it by way of a granola bar.

I like eating trail mix. I think it's quite good and tasty.
However, I usually don't buy a bag of trail mix because when I shop for goodies at the grocery store, I think of things like cookies, jelly rolls, and cake, not trail mix.

I'm not very keen on nuts so I never buy it. It seems a bit expensive to me and I worry about the amount of sugar in it. Having said that, I've never read the label so it could be fine as far as sugar goes.
