I tried the walnuts......it was OK I guess but I don't think they make the cut. I was hoping for something.......well, exotic.

I mix a hand full of my homemade trail mix in my morning oatmeal.
My trail mix has dried banana, mango's, papaya, pineapple along with raisins, a couple kind of nuts and sunflower seeds. I also add some smoked almonds and another dried fruit, sometimes cranberries, Mich dried dark cherries etc. The dried pineapple/mango/papaya are especially sweet. Sometimes I bring dried figs/plums. I don't know what your definition of exotic is, but if you find a good source of dried natural fruit, you should be able to put together a mix that you can " customize" daily to avoid being bored by the same old thing.
