Healthy Trail Mix

When it comes to healthy snacking, trail mix probably springs to mind for most people. But some kinds of trail mix may be far less healthy than you think. While the basic components of trail mix (nuts, seeds and dried fruit) are indeed healthy, some added ingredients can actually be high in saturated fat, such as peanuts or sugary chocolate. Soy beans, however, are much lower in fat than peanuts. So a soy-based trail mix is not only more healthy, but also kinder to your waistline.

Of course, soy itself provides many healthy benefits aside from being delicious. Soy beans are packed with protein, calcium and magnesium, and are an excellent source of amino acids and antioxidants. You can't ask all that from a mere peanut. And, according to numerous clinical trails and studies, adding soy to your diet may help you lose weight and reduce your risk of cancer and heart disease.
