Nuts and Seed Mix


My Trucker keeps a container of this mix next to him so when he really needs to munch on something, he has goodies to reach for.
You can buy mixes ready made but I do not recommend them. They are salty, have some dried fruit that is high in sugar calories that you don't need when doing a sitting job.
I buy unsalted, raw or roasted on low heat so the heat doesn't kill the goodness of the nuts.
Now remember, although nuts and seeds are very important for their good fat, protein and vitamin-mineral content, they are high in calories so you only need a handful a day.
He mixes Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and filberts.
I also recommend some walnuts into your mix.
In one day you are advised to have up to 20 almonds or 9 walnuts or 5 Brazil nuts.
So he has a few of each every day to keep a nice balanced diet.
For Your Health!
