Valentine’s Day Trail Mix
January 31, 2012
Valentines is almost here, and I thought I would share my latest healthy idea of what you can snack on at home, in the office or at your kids’ class parties. This Valentine Trail Mix is filled with healthy nuts, yogurt covered pretzels and raisins. Feel free to add your favorite nuts and dried fruits. Top it off with a small amount of regular or peanut M & M’s, and you’ll have a winning Valentine’s Day treat that is fairly healthy too.
Valentine Trail Mix
1 cup pecan halves
1/2 cup walnuts
1 cup yogurt covered pretzels
1/2 cup yogurt covered raisins
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/3 cup Valentine M & M
