Sometimes, serving your kids a healthy snack is all about the packaging. Kids will love imagining that Santa feeds these sacks of trail mix to Prancer, Dancer and the rest of the reindeer crew.
Ingredients:
Use any of your favorite trail mix ingredients such as:
Cashews
Walnuts
Peanuts
Almonds
Shelled sunflower seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Flax seeds
Pretzels
Raisins
Other dried fruit
Chocolate chips
Carob chips
M&Ms
Yogurt-covered raisins
Preparation:
Combine your choice of the above ingredients, using your desired quantities, in a bowl and mix until evenly combined.
Scoop about one cup of the trail mix into individual sacks, such as cellophane baggies, brown-paper pastry bags or simple burlap sacks you've sewn, as pictured. Tie the bags shut with a red or green ribbon.
Optional: Add a tag to each bag that says "reindeer snacks," perhaps with each child's name on it, too.
Note: If you're low on time or not interested in customizing the look and taste of your trail mix, just use a pre-packaged variety.
