Organic pumpkin seeds, almonds, date pieces, raisins & dried apricots
With a preschooler you always have to have snacks on hand. You never know when they are going to get hungry, and a healthy, energy-giving snack can mean the difference between finishing your errands and having to deal with a DEFCON 1 meltdown. In my family we LOVE trail mix. Nuts, seeds and dried fruits produce a tasty pick-me-up that never fails to make my Bean happy. We have found that by purchasing our trail mix ingredients separately from the bulk natural foods section of our local supermarket or co-op we not only get to customize what goes into our trail mix – but we wind up paying a lot less. The trail mix we blended in today’s pictures are made from all organic ingredients and cost less than $5/lb. The only prep required was cutting up the dried apricots. The next time you want to stock up on portable snacks, consider making your own trail mix blend.
Beans loves his trail mix!

I love trailmix too, but dried fruit makes me tooty. It gets a bit embarrassing at work.
When I was an apprenticed electrician I worked on an addition for Harry & David’s cady factory. In the break room they had boxes and boxes of Harry & David’s goodies for us to eat as much as we wanted. One of those boxes was full of gourmet dried fruit. If I was only “tootie”” after indulging it would have been a blessing…
