Well we are in full swing with school, band, soccer and work. With all of that we are in full swing with snacks. In the summer we mostly eat our lunch late and grab some fruit in the afternoon and then dinner. During the school year several of the kids have and early lunch and then we might have a late dinner because of sports. Because of this we have to have some healthy snacks around. One of our favorites is trail mix. It can be really expensive if you buy it already packaged and some parts of it may not be something that everyone likes. We usually make our own. This is what we like to use:
I buy all of the ingredients from Aldi and they are reasonably priced. We like raisins, peanuts, cashews and M & Ms. If we are feeling cheaper then we leave out the cashews. This runs about $8.00 to make and we have enough for all 7 of us to snack on it all week.
Sometimes we will add Cheerios or dried cranberries or other nuts but this is our standard recipe. We tend to make this twice a month and we really enjoy this.
