Easy Snacks for the New Year

I am a very indecisive person when it comes to eating, rummaging through the pantry I usually can’t narrow down a snack to less than 2 items. I’m pretty sure that is how trail mix was created. Now with a two week old and a toddler, I need a quick treat to give me some energy to conquer get by until my husband gets home. I’m partnering with Post® Mom’s Best® Cereal to create a trail mix that will be perfect for your busy family in 2017. 


You can really put anything in your trail mix but I have some essentials that always make an appearance in mine. If you are drawing a blank on what to throw together here are some ideas. Remember to start with your Mom’s Best® Cereal. Find a coupon here to purchase your cereal! 

1. Nuts– I omit this from the kiddos trail mix, but I’m always adding cashews or almonds in the trail mix for my husband. 

2. Seeds– I am always throwing either sunflower or pumpkin seeds in my trail mix. Both have great health benefits, but I’m all about the pumpkin seeds giving me energy right now! 

3. Dried Fruit– I love banana chips and if I am lucky there are some leftover by time I go to make my trail mix. If not they are super easy to make! Some other ideas are cranberries, blueberries, or cherries. 

4. Grains- I’m always adding a cereal to my trail mix this time I added the Mom’s Best® Cereal and pretzels. You can also add popcorn or granola for some crunch! 
5. Sweets- Because a little chocolate never hurt anyone. Add some MM’s, chocolate chips, or marshmallows in for a little salty/sweet treat. The Mom’s Best® Cereal actually had the marshmallows in there for me! 


Mom’s Best Kid’s Trail Mix

2 cups Mom’s Best® Mallow Oats Cereal 
1/2 cup Pumpkin Seeds
1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1 cup Pretzel Goldfish
1/2 cup Craisins


Banana Crunch Trail Mix

1/2 cup Pumpkin Seeds
1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips

A little story behind this picture. 📸 I asked m A little story behind this picture. 📸 I asked my son to take a picture of me and my daughter, he took ONE picture. When I asked him why he only took one picture he said well you said “A picture” and plus you look happy in this one. 💓 I am almost one year postpartum, when I saw the picture I quickly was disgusted with my deflated boobs, and just overall didn’t like it. After his comment though, my thoughts changed. I just had fun playing in the pool with the kids, and the deflated boobs I saw—they provided for my three sweet babies. My life changed when I had this sweet girl, I can’t explain it—but I want her to love her body. I want her to like the picture that her brother took because she looked happy. It’s so important that we teach our children to love themselves the way they were made. 💓
