Munchy Trail Mix

Description
Eating portion-controlled snacks between meals gives the body the burst of fuel it needs to sail through the day. A smart snack - such as trail mix paired with a favorite fruit or veggies and dip - curbs hunger and can be a good source of important nutrients you may not get otherwise.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cheerios cereal
  • 2 cups Chex bite-size squares cereal (any variety)
  • 2 cups Kix crispy corn puffs cereal
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup yogurt or carob candies, if desired
  • 1 cup peanuts, if desired

Preparation
1. In large bowl or resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix all ingredients. (If serving to children under 4 years old, omit the raisins and peanuts.) Store tightly covered.
