I was just emailing with a friend this morning that I am travelling like a mad man this month! Between my family coming to New York for the Children’s ENK Trade Show and going to Africa next Friday, I feel like I am always on the go…and well, hungry without anything yummy to snack on. It is hard to stay healthy when you are a mom on the go, especially with kids or taking care of kids. Here are 2 great no brainer healthy snack recipes that I love to whip up and have on hand in 5 minutes!
On-the-Go-Trail Mix Recipe
Prep Time: 5 minutes
- 1.5 cups mixed dried fruit of your choice (i.e. cranberries, apricots, cherries, raisins, or apples)
- 1 cup pecans
- ½ cup candy-coated chocolate
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, combine dried fruit, pecans and chocolate
- Divide among 6 re-sealable plastic bags
- Grab and go!
Oven Dried Blueberries Recipe
Prep Time: 2 hours
This recipe is great to add to yogurt, ice cream or even just a little baggy to snack on.
- 1 cup blueberries (for 1-2 servings…just increase # of blueberries per # of people you are trying to serve)
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions:
- Heat oven to 225 degrees.
- Toss blueberries with honey in a bowl.
- Bake berries on a parchment-lined baking sheet until shriveled but still supple, about 2 hours.
- Let cool.
Note: Berries are good up to a month in an airtight container or Tupperware!
