Trader Joe’s Nut Fruit Mix — With Chocolate Flakes & With Dried Cranberries
A couple weeks back we were providing some snacks for volunteer construction workers doing a first aid training and when I was checking out at Aldi I saw these individual packages of Trader Joe’s Nut Fruit Mix and thought I’d pick them up.

Our Review — Worth Buying?
Would we rebuy Aldi Trader Joe’s Nut Fruit Mix again? For sure, why not?!
These are a really convenient snack to keep in your bag to avoid hangry situations. ;]
If you want to leave them in your car or elsewhere subjected to heat you may want to stick with the cranberry mix as otherwise you may get melted chocolate and that could easily ruin the convenient snacking experience.
Also with 15-17g protein per 100g, these hit the benchmark for a high protein snack!
Rating: 4/4 Love it!
