Like most
families with kids, we spend a lot of time out and about on all kinds of
adventures: classes, activities, sports, outings, etc. I try to keep lots of
healthy snacks on hand that we can grab quickly as we’re heading out the door
(or even for when we’re at home!) For a quick, healthy snack for growing bodies
(and for already-grown bodies!) you can’t beat Trail Mix. Making your own is
way more frugal and healthy than buying the packaged stuff, so every other week
or so, I make a big batch and then store it in little 4oz containers for quick
grab-n-go snacks for the family. This is
the basic recipe I use, though sometimes I change it up a little, depending on
what we have on hand for ingredients.
Mama’s Trail
Mix
2 cups of
O-cereal
1 cup of
walnut pieces
1 cup of
almonds
¼ cup
sunflower seeds
¾ cup of
raisins
¾ cup of
other dried fruit (we like to use a mix of chopped apricots and chopped dried
apples, but any dried fruit will do)
Mix together
in a large bowl. Store in single-serving containers.
A note about
the nuts: we use raw nuts, but you can use roasted/salted, if you prefer.
