Not Nuts! from Enjoy Life


seed and fruitSo, you know the issue with trail mix? It's always got chocolate chips with milk or milk fat in them, or yogurt balls, or nuts in it. Often it will have gluten, be soaked in soybean oil, and just be down right NON allergen friendly!

So you can always finagle a mix by yourself, but we all know that is annoying, and if it sits longer than a day it's usually stale and gross. Or, you can pick out or eat around the parts you can't have, and that's no fun, and certainly not safe at all if you are anaphylactic.

So what can you do? Well, no matter what your allergy is, I know exactly what you can do... You can eat Enjoy Life's Not Nuts! Seed and Fruit mixes!















We got to try Enjoy Life's Not Nuts Seed and Fruit Mixes, and I can certainly tell you that they are de-lish!

Now, I'm personally not really one for eating your everyday trail mix. There's just something about it that makes me slightly gaggish. But, I did agree to try Not Nuts! So, I did. I expected to chew it with a funny look on my face, and choke it down, and then stick my tongue out and say "Ick" when I was done... but none of that happened! (this is a true story) I was so pleasantly surprised at the great texture, the yummy seeds, and the mild fruity flavor, that I took another handful. Then another. Then another, and you know how it goes...

There are two wonderful flavors. They both have a mixture of yummy seeds, dried fruit, and the Mountain Mambo flavor has lots of yummy Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips!

Allergen free AND tasty!! That's something we can all enjoy!  Check out the info from the Enjoy Life website, and don't forget to like them on Facebook!
