Healthy Snack Hack: Trail Mix
Changing the texture of the fruit or vegetables might help us eat more of a variety. For today’s snack let’s try dried fruits! Grapes (raisins), mango, coconut, or bananas all come in dried options! They taste great on their own but also are a great addition to many snacks. Add dried fruits to trail mix, yogurt and oatmeal, or put on celery with peanut butter. They are a healthy source of energy and fiber and are convenient to eat!
Ingredients:
• 1 cup of popcorn
• 1 cup of whole grain cheerios
• ¼ cup of nuts
• ¼ cup dried fruit of choice, raisins, craisins or any other dried fruits
• Mix together and serve
