I decided the other day that I was sick of not having anything around to snack on that was yummy but somehow healthy or healthier. I thought I might make some trail-mix. I have had many different kinds of trail-mix in my day and there are always certain ingredients that get left behind- nuts, dates, other weird dried fruit. I thought about the things that me and my family like that would be good for the car and out-and-about without any one ingredient being left behind. Here's what we came up with:
The Drake-Mix
off-brand cheerios
off-brand rice chex
craisins or dried cranberries
semi-sweet chocolate chips
dried apples
strawberry yogurt covered raisins (only because I had a little bit left in my cabinet already)
You can add in the amounts that you would like, I didn't follow a measured recipe :)
I was concerned that my 2 year old would only eat the chocolate and leave everything else but she is eating everything. We have some grains, some fruit and some chocolate. Yum-o! A lot better than cookies, crackers and other processed food snacks.
Try it or make up your own that works for you and your family!
