Trail Mix Slices

Trail mix with a twist! All same ingredients (you choose the ones you like best) but here we have mixed all these yummy ingredients in creamy peanut butter made in the NutraMilk and shaped it so you can cut it and take it anywhere for a quick bite. It makes a great snack for the outdoors. It´s moist, creamy, crunchy and full of nutrients that will give you the energy you need!
