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:
