  4 Favorite Kid Friendly Trail Mixes
by Tami Rose

I haven't met a kid that wouldn't gladly eat some dried fruit and nuts when it was mixed in among some of his/her other favorite snack foods. These trail mixes are easy to bag into single servings for lunches, after school snacks, or even for traveling.

What You Need

Just a few minutes is all that is needed to mix together some of these tasty trail mixes:

Zoo-licious Animal Feed

2 C. animal crackers
1 C. dry-roasted peanuts, sliced almonds or pecans
1 C. banana chips
1/2 C. sunflower seeds
1/2 C. sweetened or unsweetened coconut
1 C. cheese flavored fish crackers

Mix well. Store in gallon size plastic bag or plastic container.

Princess Pixie Mix

2 C. Apple Cinnamon O's cereal
1 C. assorted dried fruit mix
1 C. yogurt covered raisins
