Instructions:

1:  Wash the apples thoroughly under running water.

Trailmix made with Nuts, dried Fruits and Whole-Grain Cereal   

Customize the trail mix by adding other ingredients like seeds (e.g., pumpkin or sunflower seeds), coconut flakes, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor. Adjust the quantities of each ingredient according to your preference and the number of servings you want to make.

SERVES 1 or 2 Individuals

Ingredients:

●  1 cup mixed nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and peanuts)

●  1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions:

Gather all the ingredients and ensure they are ready to use.

If the nuts are not already roasted, you can roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until they become slightly golden and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely before using.

Once the nuts have cooled, chop them into smaller pieces if desired. This will make it easier for kids to eat.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts, dried fruits, whole grain cereal, and mini chocolate chips (if using). Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Transfer the trail mix to an airtight container or individual snack-sized bags for easy portion control.

Store the trail mix in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or cupboard.
