Avocado powder is a healthy ingredient. It's loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Plus, it lasts longer than fresh avocados. You can use it to make dips, sauces, and smoothies, but if you're looking for a more unique way to enjoy your avocado powder, you may want to use it in your own homemade snack mixes. Here are two easy recipes for snack mixes with avocado powder.

Pretzel and Cheese Snack Mix

This snack mix is sort of like the pretzel mixes you sometimes see on the counters at bars, but it's coated in avocado powder for a healthier twist. To make about 6 cups of snack mix, you'll need:

• 2 cups small pretzels
• 2 cups small cheese crackers
• 1 cup corn Chex
• 1 cup dried rye bread chips
• 1/4 cup avocado powder
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

Combine the pretzels, cheese crackers, Chex, and rye bread pieces in a large bowl. Mix them to ensure an even distribution. Then, drizzle on the olive oil, and toss the mixture to ensure the items are evenly coated in oil. Let this mixture sit for 30 minutes so the oil gets absorbed.

In a small, separate bowl, combine the avocado powder, garlic onion powder, and seasoned salt. Sprinkle it over the snack mixture in the bowl, and toss to combine. Enjoy immediately, or store in a covered container for up to one week.

Green Monster Trail Mix

Avocado powder may not sound like a trail mix topping, but it's actually a delicious coating for this snack. It adds to the fat content of the trail mix, too, which is what you want on a long hike. For about 4 cups of trail mix, you'll need:

• 1 cup peanuts
• 1 cup small pretzels
• 1 cup oyster crackers
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup avocado powder
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

Combine the peanuts, pretzels, crackers, and chocolate chips. Drizzle the canola oil over the mixture, and toss it well to distribute the oil. Then, add the avocado powder to the bowl, and shake or stir the mixture until the avocado powder coats the items evenly. Pack into snack baggies, and take one with you on the trail. Enjoy!

Using avocado powder as a coating on various snack mixes is innovative and tasty. Once you try it, you'll do it again and again. To learn more, contact an avocado powder supplier.
