This Red, White, and Blue Trail Mix is an easy snack to pack-up and take with you to the fireworks!
It’s summer and that means lots of fun outdoor activities; picnics, 4th of July fireworks, long days at the playground, the pool, or if you are really lucky, the beach! Whether you have kids (like Melinda) or you’re just a super-cool aunt (like me) who is always on the go, it’s nice to have a few snacks planned that are easy to carry with you. When Blue Diamond Almonds showed us their new Blueberry Flavored Almonds we knew they would make an awesome trail mix, and with all of the 4th of July celebrations coming up we went with a red, white and blue theme. The blueberry almonds are sweet and fruity tasting so we mixed them with slightly tart dried cranberries, salty oven roasted almonds and yogurt covered raisins.
We love how the mix turned out, sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy but most importantly it got the stamp of approval from the kids. Melinda already has a mason jar full of our second batch and she’s packing it, the kids and her hubby up, and heading to the beach this weekend!
A healthy snack for all of our patriotic holidays. This red, white and blue almond trail mix appeals to kids and adults alike!

What a healthy, yummy snack!!! Love it! And thanks for sharing at Motivational Monday 🙂 So glad you stopped by!
It is sooo good! Thanks for inviting us!
Sounds yummy…can’t wait to try it!!
I love making my own trail mixes at home. I find that I can make 3 times as much, and can customize it to our likes. I will keep an eye out for those almonds, the combination sounds yummy!
These are gorgeous and so is your photography! Thanks for the simple idea.
Thanks Julie! Melinda took the pics and I thought she did a great job this week!
This trail mix recipe sounds great! I love trail mix and this is so festive! (love the pic of the kiddos and the blanket)
Thanks! Come back Saturday to see how we made the blanket (and more super-cute kid pics!)
Mmm – this looks so good – and it’s healthy too!!
Thanks so much for linking up to the Handmade Hangout!!
O.M.G. I love almonds! And yogurt treats! And dried cranberries! I bet this would be cheaper (overall) than buying those pre-made snack mixes they sell in the stores as well. Thanks for linking up with Creative Spark!
I agree and I think it tastes better than a store bought brand too!
Stopping by from the Saturday Showlicious link up. Really fun and simple idea for the 4th! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love both almonds and blueberries. This should be tasty! 🙂
Stopping by from the Teach Me Tuesday party!
The great things out making this mix yourself is that you get exactly what you want in there! Looks like an awesome combination 🙂
Thanks for sharing at Marvelous Monday on Smart Party Planning 🙂

I’ve never even heard of blueberry almonds before. I’ll have to keep my eye open when I go to the market. Thanks for sharing this new product with us on Merry Monday.
I have noticed them in most grocery stores now. My kids love them. They also have strawberry ones too 🙂
Thank you for sharing this post at City of Creative Dream’s City of Links on Friday! I appreciate you taking the time to party with me. Hope to see you again this week 🙂
Yummy!! Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I’ve pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board

Just starting to eat Paleo and snacks really are a problem so I’m interested in your list, but I have a question about the Red, White and Blueberry Almond Trail Mix. Is this recipe really paleo. The blueberry almonds have sugar and what about the yogurt raisins? Thank you for your help.
Hi Evie, I think you might have found our recipe on another website that listed it as paleo. It is not paleo (and we havent claimed that it is). My suggestion for a paleo snack would be raw, unsalted almonds and fresh raspberries and blueberries. Good luck with your new way of eating!
