Trail Mix???


I don't know why these are sideways, but they took so long to download that I am not trying again... just turn your head!!

We recently have been trying to come up with healthier snack ideas. Aunt Jess gave us the idea of making a trail mix snack with some good things in it as well as some yummy treats. Mikayla recently celebrated the 100th day of school. Each student brought in 100 somethings to share and mix into a snack mix. We thought to combine the two ideas and make something unique to our tastes. We talked about what we might put into the mix. We came up with several things that we like and would be good. I went to the store to get the groceries. What we ended up with was a monstrosity, but they seem to like it. Should anyone like to try this, here is the "Recipe"


Quaker Oat Square Squares Cereal

Cocoa Puffs Cereal

Swedish Fish

Gummy Worms

M & M's

Reese's Pieces

Pretzels

Animal Crackers

Cheetos Puffs

Raisins

Conversation Hearts


Directions:

Dump everything into the biggest bowl that you own. Mix it all up. Eat it, being sure to leave the raisins, the only good for you item, in the bowl.

Looks like Braden loves it! So you can just recycle the raisins, you never have to buy another box...
