Things seem to be awfully… vacant… around here today. Liven’ up people! It’s Friday!
TRAIL MIX, DRIED FRUIT, AND MIXED NUTS
Eat This!

Sun-Maid Mixed Fruit – 100 cal, 0 g fat, 17 g sugar – Added sugars are totally unnecessary.
DAVID Roasted & Salted Pumpkin Seeds – 160 cal, 12 g fat, 0 g sugar, 940 mg sodium – full of manganese, magnesium, and iron.
Planters Mixed Nuts and Raisins Trail Mix – 150 cal, 11 g fat, 6 g sugar

Not That!
