A Jessica Siegel & Kid-Friendly Recipe

Serves 1 or many uts offer protein and healthy fats that can aid in brain development, help lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol. This snack is also a good source of vitamin E (an antioxidant), as well as phosphorus and magnesium (important for strong teeth and bones). Kids can make one snack or a whole week's worth at once by scooping one spoonful of each item into a baggie and repeating the process several times. You will need: A knife  ♦  A cutting board  ♦  9 little bowls  ♦  9 soup spoons  ♦  Zipper baggies Ingredients: - Melissa's organic dried mango - Flanigan Farms almonds - Flanigan Farms pecans - Flanigan Farms pepitas (pumpkin seeds) - Flanigan Farms sunflower seeds - Melissa's organic dried blueberries - Melissa's organic dried cranberries - Pavich organic Thompson seedless raisins (in the green container) - Nestlé Toll House chocolate morsels Instructions: Use a knife to cut up some of the mango pieces to about the size of an almond. Put the cut mango in one of the bowls. Put all of the other ingredients in their own bowls. Place a spoon in each bowl. Open your plastic baggie. Scoop one spoonful of each item into your baggie. Zip the baggie up and shake your trail mix to mix it up. Eat it now or take it to school for a snack. * Children should be supervised by an adult.
