Here's a list of ingredient ideas that I've come up with:
- nuts - walnuts, almonds, peanuts, cashews
- dried fruit - cranberries, bananas, rasins, apricots, cherries, apples
- chocolate chips or M&M's
- seeds - sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds
- pretzils or crackers like goldfish that won't crumble easily
- cereal - chex, cheerios
Basic Trail Mix Recipe:
Pick about five of the above ingredient ideas, and combine one half cup of each in a big bowl. Store in an airtight container or eat immediately.I combined raisins, dried bananas, peanuts, dried date pieces and raw pumpkin seeds. My kids love it!
See? Super simple, healthy, and you can give yourself a pat on the back for being such a good mommy and healthy snack giver!

one really good combo is almonds, dried cherries and chocolate chips; another is soy nuts, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips - thsi would be good with pepitas as well.
I love making my own trail mix...so many easy possibilities! Right now, I've been on a kick with walnuts, peanuts, and a double dose of raisins. It reminds me of peanut butter and jelly with the nuts and sweetness.
