Ingredients

1. Carbohydrates (choose at least one)

2. Shelf-Stable Fruits and Veggies (choose at least one)

3. Healthy Fats and Proteins (choose at least one)

Instructions

  • Pick at least 2 foods from the 3 categories above or up to a bigger assortment! It's really up to you as to how simple or complicated the mix is.
  • Add a small amount of each to your container or snack bag and mix gently.
  • Take it on the go or serve it at home!

Notes

  • Use equal amounts of foods from each category, but change up the portion as needed.
  • You can adjust the ratios of how much of each food you include based on what the foods are and what else your child has eaten that day. (They may need more fruits and fats than carbs or vice versa!)
  • Let the kids help assemble their own mixes.
  • Pack in an airtight storage container for up to 5 days.
  • Pack in a reusable bag and eat on the same day. (The ingredients can get stale quickly in a reusable bag.)
  • Nutrition information is for an example mix of 1/4 cup Cheerios, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
