Quick answer: Makhana makes an ideal trail-mix base because it is light, crunchy and low in fat. Combine it with nuts, seeds and a little dried fruit for an endurance-friendly mix that balances quick and slow energy.
Trail mix should travel well and fuel long efforts. Makhana keeps it light while nuts and fruit add density.
