Parents are always looking for healthy, portable snacks. Trail mix is a very nutritious snack, but can be pricey in the grocery stores. Yet it’s so easy to make your own, custom trail mix! Prepare a big batch and or portion into small to-go containers to keep in your diaper bag or car.

Mix together any of:
1) Nuts (peanuts, walnuts, almonds – as long as your child is over 4 to avoid choking hazards. Or chop up finely).
2) Seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds).
3) Dried fruit (chopped apricots, dates, prunes, cranberries, cherries).
4) Dehydrated fruit (good if your child is younger, as they are not choking hazard. Can find in the baby food section at the grocery store.
5) Dried cereal (Cheerios, Shreddies, Nutrios)
6) Pretzels

No need to add sugar or oils, or to bake. Just mix together!
