Sweet trail mix with strange-tasting brazil nuts
585750
This is a huge bag of trail mix. The label says that a serving size is 1/3 cup, and that there are 42 servings here. (I probably just ate two servings. Whoops!) With all the fruit (pineapple, papaya, mango, raisins, and banana -- most of which have added sugar), this is a relatively sweet mix.

I have taken off a star because the brazil nuts seem to have a funny off-gassing kind of smell/taste. I mean, nobody likes brazil nuts, but there's something even odder about these.

This is a pretty good trail mix. The dried cranberries give it some sweetness and flavor to counter-balance the walnuts, almonds and pistachios. This is half-snack, half-nutrition. It is very low on salt, 1% (15mg) per serving, and that's sea salt. The dried cranberries are sugarized. The other ingredient in this is expeller pressed sunflower seed oil.

The packaging make them great as something you take with you or keep around as an emergency snack. One sealed pouch includes eight sealed individual serving bags. Each individual serving bag lists both the ingredients and allergen info (and best by date), so that's handy if people with food allergies want to try them.

The sugarized cranberries are represented in the nutritional info as it has 7g of sugars per serving (12g total carbs), 2g dietary fiber, 3g protein, 11g fat (1g saturated, 0g trans) and 0% cholesterol. That's why I call it half healthy snack and half nutrition. There are no artificial ingredients per the packaging, which also states this has 880mg of ALA Omega-3, thus advertising it as an Omega-3 mix.

Quick Recipe when on the go (eg at work or hotel) or in a hurry: mix one or two servings in a bowl of rice or ready-to-eat salad greens, and add whatever else is readily available (eg avocado, tomato). You can also use a bag of this to beef up a ready-made salad. The cranberries bring out the flavor and add sweetness.

Meanwhile, the Cashews are more conventional, it is cashew halves and pieces, with sea salt and expeller pressed sunflower oil. It's almost impossible to find packaged non-raw cashews without some kind of oil. I am not sure if this is to counter reaction/allergy risk of cashew shell oil or what. Searching online has not yielded a conclusive answer. The cashews are from all over the world, India, Brazil, Vietnam, Indonesia and Ghana are listed on the package.

Although not listed in their display, contains cottonseed oil.  I found the nuts to be oily, over roasted and had an off taste.

I am pretty sensitive to excessively sweet drinks, so I avoid some flavors of Gatorade. Lemon Lime is the only one I drink consistently, and I prefer to use the powder so I can adjust the flavor. This concentrate is just a bit strange. It doesn't dissolve as quickly as I expected, and the flavor is almost artificial-tasting. I've had it side-by-side-by-side with powdered mix and bottled, and this is much sweeter and tastes almost like Diet Coke vs. Coke. If you hate to stir, it might be better than the mix, but I do prefer the flavor of the powder.

When our local supermarket stopped carrying cans of Planters Deluxe Mixed Nuts, we searched for alternatives.  Tried Costco - they tasted dry and stale, finally (on a whim) tried Amazon.  Bingo!  We keep an open jar on the counter at all times to feed the mid-afternoon crash.  I suspect these are roasted using a different oil than the old cans were, but the taste is still very close.

This trail mix is really delicious! It contains a combination of chewy raisins, crunchy peanuts, chocolate M & M's, almonds and cashews. It's a good size (48 oz.) resealable stand-up bag. You're getting all the goodness of crunchy, chewy, sweet and salty. And most importantly ~ it's soooo fresh!! The raisins are plump and sweet, the M & M's and nuts are not rock hard and stale ~ they are amazingly fresh. If Happy Belly keeps the quality and freshness of this trail mix, it's a winner.

Typically I love this trail mix however the past few bags I've had at my office have been severely lacking in M&Ms. I like trail mix because it's sweet and salty but now my mouth is just salty.

I've bought this before, though never in such quantities. About a months ago, my wife and I were hiking Coyote Hills, and while tracking a white-tailed kite, kind of lost track of time and distance. We didn't plan that day very well, and when we got back to the car, we were grateful that I still had a bag of this trail mix in the trunk. We were sufficiently depleted so that there was enough sugar to give us energy, but not so much that we had the sugar high (or low). HOWEVER, much as we like this, it needs to be "cut" by adding salted peanuts or sunflower seeds. It really is quite sweet, in part because there are too many raisins and not enough dried apples. Although the pieces are smaller than what I'd prefer, I still find it to be a satisfactory emergency mix.

The higher ratio of raisins to the papaya, pineapple, and cranberries is understandable from a business standpoint, but not entirely acceptable from the consumer side.

All and all, it's a fair-good mix, but not as good as some of Emerald's others. It's why we've also stocked up for the coming summer with Emerald Harmony Deluxe Fruit N Nut Trail Mix AND Emerald Harmony Sunflower Kernels roasted/Salted. That, of course, raises the price of this trail mix.

Purchased as a sample at a bodega on Third Avenue in New York City.

Interesting mix of vegetables: parsnips,taro,sweet potato, yuca and batata -- in this  mix, a Cuban sweet potato.

I liked the taste primarily because of the fat and the sea salt but couldn't tell the difference in taste between the various types -- and the fhe fact that some were dipped in beet juice didn't make it any easier. And, I really liked the mouth feel, varying from crunchy to very very crunchy.

Fat, well there is quite a bit -- 13 grams or 20% of your daily requirement in only 220 calories -- and a pack only delivers 3 grams of fiber.

So, I plan to make my own version using a drier like the highly rated&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Presto-06300-Dehydro-Electric-Food-Dehydrator/dp/B008H2OELY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Presto 06300 Dehydro Electric Food Dehydrator</a>.

Much less fat and salt, plenty of crunch, and much more fiber for the caloric loads.

So for a special treat, I've ordered a case from Amazon, but plan to concentrate on drying my own. I'll update in a month or two and let you know how it is working out.

I've ordered these over the last few months. I think they're great. All the nuts taste great, save for the nuts I outright detest, but that's beyond the ability of this bag to satisfy my tastes. Come on though, who honestly enjoys brazil nuts? If you insist on eating them, buy your own bag of brazil nuts and save them from the rest of us. They're the candied corn of nuts.

The bag also sports some of the biggest cashews I've ever seen, and they don't skimp on them or the almonds either. I'd give them a made-up extra star if they'd take out the brazil nuts for me. Again, I don't know if that's a possibility.

I got these because I needed something that I could take with me for a snack on the go. (I used to take packs of crackers and such but have started trying to adopt a primal diet so that is out now.) It is a little sweet, salty, and overall very tasty. As a bonus I have friends with family members who have nut allergies who have tried them and really like that they are a trail mix option for their family. I did leave a pack in my car in case I needed a snack, and after a mildly warm-ish day I took them out and ended up squeezing the chocolate-coated gooey chunks out to eat it. I didn't think it would be warm enough to melt them, but maybe without all of the processed stabilizers they melted easier??? Not sure... But the gooey mess was still tasty.

I hate to write unfavorable reviews. However, I have ordered this mix in the past (nearly a year ago I get them for summer camp/hike trips) and decided to order more because I LOVE these things.  This taste though was off.  The cajun sticks were stale and the peanuts tasted rancid.  I had family over for a picnic/barbecue and the people who had some agreed.  Soooo disappointed because normally these are the best trail mix on the market.

I've never been a fan of Brazil nuts, so I can't honestly rate them as "love it," but these taste as good as any. I eat one a day for the mineral content.

This is without question the best tropical trail mix I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. I believe I could live off this scrumptious mixture of dried fruit and nuts. I look forward to trying the other Happy abelly assortments.

The taste is very sweet and nutty and the canned coconut water does not have any of the nutritional benefits found in tetra pak. Im guessing its the way they need to heat the coconut water in order to fill it in cans.
I gave it two stars because it does taste like coconut albeit a very sweet version. For the same price, I prefer a tetra pak brand like vita coco which has less sweet taste + nutritional components like potassium, magnesium.

Mixed in-shell nuts are not now available in the local stores, and I love them. So I searched on Amazon and found these. Despite reviews stating that the nuts were sometimes broken I ordered them anyway. And they were not broken up. Also, the mix of nuts seems to be good. I estimate 25% walnuts, 20% pecans, 20% hazelnuts, and 35% almonds.  However, they are not especially fresh. I am not sorry I ordered them, but I will probably look elsewhere because it seems that for the price they should be nice and fresh. Oh, by the way, I have not come across a Brazil nut in the mix.

This is a selection of dried tropical fruit mixed with nuts. The fruit is flavorful and sweetened. It's also moist and easy to chew  soft, but chewy. The chunks are a good size to make them easy to chew with a mix most of the mix in your mouth at once so you can experience a complex mix of flavors and textures. The nuts add some crunch, but they aren't as crunchy as most roasted nuts that are sold alone because some of the moisture of the fruit softens them a bit over time. The mix of sweet and salty is well-balanced so that neither is overbearing or jarring. The addition of coconut is especially nice as it adds a different texture and a more developed flavor to the overall mix.

In general, the number of pieces of all types of fruit and nuts is well-represented. There's no attempt to top-load the mixture with cheaper pieces (such as is the case with peanuts which are often over-represented in mixed nuts). Because the fruit is sweetened, this is a calorically dense snack, but I think the way that the fruit flavors are brightened and intensified by the added sugar makes it worth the moderation and restraint. However, I do wish the moisture and flavor could have been achieved with a bit less sugar.
