Welcome Birds Trail Mix

As early March unfolds here, we're eagerly awaiting the full return of migrating birds. We've already heard the cheerful singing of robins and the honking of geese, and any day now, the Sandhill cranes will make their grand arrival. The changing seasons brings a sense of renewal, and this simple yet nourishing trail mix feels like a small way to celebrate the change of seasons. On the MIND Diet, I often turn to trail mixes instead of chips for a satisfying, brain-boosting snack. This particular blend is inspired by the birds - featuring dried blueberries, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and dark chocolate chunks.
