I always have a packet of trail mix, streamside, tucked away in a pocket in my pack or cargo pants,
just to give my waning energy levels a kick in the @#$% when they need it most.
The mix can be a bit boring though....so to add a bit of variety to the mixture, afterall variety is the spice of life......I add my own dried fruit.

On this occasion I experimented with Strawberries, Peaches, Mango, Mandarins & Dragonfruit.
Mandarins & Dragonfruit were the stand outs.....Mandarins were sweet, sticky & chewy, while the funky Dragonfruit were full
of flavour (blackberryish) and tiny crunchy seeds.

Before & After....







Well worth the effort....
