Recipe: Easy Trail Mix

March 23, 2017 Katy Leave a Comment

Someone recently asked for some gluten free snack ideas that kids can get by themselves.  Trail mix is definitely one of those!  And this is our current go-to “car snack”, because it has lots of little pieces, so it takes awhile to eat – free entertainment! It’s also not too messy, unless your two-year-old drops her entire container.  Then it’s messy.

Easy Trail Mix

  • 3 cups peanuts
  • 1 cup other nuts (I usually use cashews or walnuts)
  • 1 cup craisins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together in large bowl.  Store in airtight container.

This recipe is totally customizable. I frequently add a cup of raisins to this base mix, but the day I made this batch, we were out of raisins, so I left them out.  And my oldest, raisin-hating child rejoiced.

Sometimes if we have some M&Ms from holiday candy, I’ll use those instead of chocolate chips.

If we have different dried fruits or pumpkin seeds, I’ll add those in addition to the other ingredients.

Overall, I think the base recipe is a good mix of salty and sweet.

What do you put in your trail mix?
