Trail mix is a non-perishable, convenient snack that is energy-dense—meaning a lot of calories are packed into a small amount of food. It's meant to provide nourishment during strenuous activity, such as hiking (hence the name). A Low-carb, sugar-free trail mix is a great snack to have before or after a workout or a lot of activity, or simply as an emergency snack in your bag or backpack.
