What to do with trail mix?
Someone gave me a bunch of trail mix and it has some good stuff in it- pistachios, m&ms, dates, almonds, seeds etc. But I dont eat loose trail mix:( I tried putting in on yogurt this morning and it was kinda gross because of the salt level. Any ideas what I can do with it so all that good stuff doesnt go to waste?

And reduce or omit any salt in the original recipe, to bring total salt levels in the dish down to acceptable level.
Ideas:
▪ Energy bar (with oats or other whole grain)
▪Rice pudding, sweet or savory
▪Noodle pudding, sweet or savory
▪Divide into quarter or half cup portions and freeze. Then use (sparingly) in banana or other quick breads instead of the raisins or nuts the recipe calls for.
▪Add to some Indian rice preparations for crunch, protein and touch of sweetness. There, the spices and fat will dominate the flavor profile & the salt will be a minor note.

I think the saltiness would work really nicely with the sweetened condensed.
