Trail Mix for Breakfast I eat this trail mix for breakfast because it has protein in it (peanuts and cashews) to keep me full longer, plus some fruit (raisins). It also has M&Ms, for a bit of sweetness first thing in the morning. It's easy to eat in the car on the way to work -- I can't eat for a certain period of time after taking a morning medication, and I have zero desire to get up earlier just so I can eat at home. Cross n Country tastes good, is convenient and not messy to eat while driving, and is somewhat healthy. I do wish it had some more fruit in it, though, but one of the reasons I chose it is because I have food sensitivities to some other ingredients commonly found in trail mixes (apricots, coconuts, sunflower seeds, etc.), so I don't want them to mess with it too much. It's an easy and delicious choice for my breakfast.
