Homemade Trail Mix

This is such an easy snack to prepare for Mikayla, and it's one I fall back on pretty regularly. She really likes it too. There are infinite different combinations you can put in your mix, and chances are you have plenty of ingredients on hand to make your own.




The one I made today has Cheerios, Life cereal, pretzel sticks, gummy fruit snacks, both regular and golden raisins, dried cranberries, and a few white and semi-sweet chocolate chips. I usually make enough for a few servings, and just store it in a sandwich bag or tupperware. 

Suggestions for Different Ingredients
  • Cheerios, Life, Corn Flakes, or really any cereal you prefer
  • Pretzels
  • Chocolate chips
  • Raisins, cranberries, dates, or other dried fruits
  • Shredded coconut
  • Gummy fruit snacks
  • Nuts 
  • Granola
  • M&M's, Reese's Pieces, or other small candies
  • Seeds like sunflower or pumpkin
  • Mini marshmallows
  • Goldfish
  • Mini Nutter Butters or Oreos (the kind in the snack packs)
  • Wasabi peas (spicy, not recommended for little ones)
  • Dried banana or apple chips
  • Sesame cracker sticks
  • Baked chickpeas
Leave me a comment if you think of any other ingredients!
