Wednesday: Proteins, legumes, nuts, seeds

We are still on vacation (don’t worry, I’m not actually writing these posts on vacation).  I will post about our fun hiking excursions for Friday’s exercise day. 

But a perfect hiking snack is trail mix!! Make your own though! Its not hard, it so much cheaper, and doesn’t include things like M&M’s and too much salt.  Here are some ideas for making your own with things we like in ours.

• Almonds
• cashews
• shelled pistachio’s
• peanuts
• dried cranberries (without added sugar)
• Raisins
• Dried pineapples
• Dried apple chips
• Soy nuts
• granola
• pumpkin seeds
• sunflower seeds
• Dried apricots
• Dates
• Cheerios
• pretzels
• Mini- Chocolate chips
• Coconut

Anything I forgot?  We pack the mix into snack size baggies.  Each kid carries their own Hydration packs , which are completely adorable themselves, with trial mix and fruit leather tucked inside.

I will  post winners to the Sinupret giveaway later tonight when I will be back in town.
