They would be a great addition. A little goes a long way in adding sweetness to trail mix.</p> <p><a href="https://green.memyth.com/index.php?route=product/product&#038;product_id=339" rel="nofollow">https://green.memyth.com/index.php?route=product/product&#038;product_id=339</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-trail-mix#post-2614711 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 11:42:32 +0000 gingerbebe 2614711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep like a zillion different flavors of Goldfish (pizza, Parmesan, cheese, pretzel) and mix/rotate them, including the sweet graham ones. We also have Belvita bites, the sweet Boom Chicka Pop, rice cakes, oyster crackers, Frosted Mini wheats, Cheerios, yogurt melts, mini marshmallows, raisins, Craisins, and dried cherries. Larabars cut up into cubes is good and they are actually really easy to make at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-trail-mix#post-2614699 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 11:34:00 +0000 alphagam84 2614699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cranberries, nuts, pumpkin seeds, chocolate chips or m&amp;m's (the best part of trail mix in my opinion!). You could also try making them granola which is kind of like trail mix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-trail-mix#post-2614609 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 10:04:05 +0000 PinkElephant 2614609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love to do:</p> <p>-Pretzels that look like a checkerboard (Snyder's Snaps)<br /> - Yogurt Melts<br /> - Dried cherries/cranberries<br /> - Raisins/yogurt covered raisins<br /> - Nuts (cashews or shelled pistachios)<br /> - cereal (cheerios or chex or quaker oat squares)<br /> - as a treat, a sugary cereal like the little mini trix - fun for color</p> <p>I prefer to avoid chocolate chips/m &amp; ms for the car (usually where we have trail mix) because of the melting/mess factor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-trail-mix#post-2614580 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 09:34:06 +0000 catlady 2614580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just check out the bulk section at the grocery store and pick up anything that looks interesting. Right now in our pantry, we have a mix of seeds, sliced nuts, and dried fruits (LO actually prefers big ones like prunes and apricots). We also found some small "bars" in the bulk section that are sort of like lara bars but seem to be a mixture of dried fruits, seeds, and carob (she thinks they are chocolate but they aren't!). And cheerios of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-trail-mix#post-2614570 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 09:16:53 +0000 KayKay 2614570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some combinations of:</p> <p> - raisins, dried cranberries, and/or dried cherries<br /> - hulled sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and/or almond slivers (other bigger nuts if you are comfortable with that -- pistachios, cashews)<br /> - mini chocolate chips (the super tiny ones!)<br /> - cereal: cheerios, chex, life, granola clusters</p> <p>My favorite one from Trader Joes has almonds, cashews, pistachios, dried cherries, and chocolate chips. I could eat the whole bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-trail-mix#post-2614566 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 09:09:59 +0000 Bao 2614566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: they can have nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-trail-mix#post-2614565 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 09:06:39 +0000 Mamaof2 2614565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can they have nuts?<br /> How about dry cereal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/homemade-trail-mix#post-2614196 Thu, 01 Sep 2016 08:45:00 +0000 Bao 2614196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to make a kid friendly trail mix for the girls, but I want to put "different" things in it, not their everyday snacks. They always have the same few things (Goldfish, pretzels, crackers), I'm hoping if I give them an interesting mix of things they will try new snacks. Any ideas? </p>
