The trick to get kids to eat trail mix—add just a little bit of the sweet stuff to the nutritious stuff so it tastes like a treat! Pumpkin seeds are loaded with magnesium and zinc, and the cranberries are chock-full of vitamin C and fiber. Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted pumpkinseed kernels |
1/2 cup whole natural almonds, coarsely chopped |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 cups wheat bran flakes cereal with raisins and clusters |
1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries |
1/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger |
1/4 cup flaked unsweetened coconut |
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate minichips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Place pumpkinseed kernels and almonds on a jelly-roll pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with sugar and salt; toss to coat.
3. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Let cool on pan 30 minutes.
4. Transfer pumpkinseed mixture to a large bowl; add cereal and remaining ingredients, tossing well.
5. Kids Can Help: Kids can measure all the ingredients, pour them into the bowl, and toss. Then they can measure individual portions into snack containers so they're ready to go for the week.
