Using Quaker Chewy Mini Dipps in new Birthday Blast flavor to Make Customized Trail Mix for Convenient On-the-Go Snacking!

 This is a sponsored post in partnership with Quaker. All opinions are my own.

It doesn't matter whether you're enjoying time at the park in the middle of summer, or your kids are bursting through the door after school, snacks are a staple of the parent life. When you can find a snack that all of your kids love and is convenient to enjoy on the go, you treasure it. This trail mix using Quaker Chewy Mini Dipps in new Birthday Blast flavor is that snack for our family! Your kids can even help customize it to create their own unique recipe.

You might be thinking, "Trail mix? Isn't that what you just take camping?" Not necessarily. This custom trail mix works anywhere you go! So what makes it so special? It starts with the sweet taste of Quaker Chewy Mini Dipps in Birthday Blast flavor. They are made with festive sprinkles, dipped in a creamy coating, and contain 11 grams of whole grains per serving and other delicious ingredients. These can be served as whole "minis" or broken up into bite-sized pieces. The next secret to this recipe is that you as the parent choose the ingredients, but then your kids can help decide the right level of each ingredient to make their own mix. What I've found is that when kids get to make a choice in their food, they are more likely to eat it all.

 

So, after you start with the Chewy Mini Dipps bars, it's time to move on to other ingredient ideas. You can follow my list below or add your own ideas. Just remember to have a good mix of crunchy, sweet, salty, and chewy foods.

Supplies: Reusable containers with lids for each ingredient, spoons, napkins, small cups for each person.

Ingredients: Quaker Chewy Mini Dipps in Birthday Blast flavor, and your choosing of ingredients! Our favorites include Life Cereal, mini pretzels, raisins, yogurt covered raisins, dried apricots, dried mango, dried apples, mixed nuts, popcorn, or sprinkles. Feel free to customize these optional ingredients for what works best for your family!

Directions:

1. Add each ingredient into separate reusable containers with lids. This makes them perfect to take on the go. Place your chosen ingredients and all supplies into a bag to take to the park, sports practice, a friend's house, or anywhere else your kids ask for a snack. So basically everywhere.

2. Line up the supplies and ingredients on the table. Use spoons in each ingredient or give an individual spoon for each kid. Let them make their own Birthday Blast trail mix creation under your supervision and enjoy their sounds of extreme excitement!

3. Easily top all the containers with their lids and repack to take them home.

The next time you are grocery shopping, remember to pick up a few boxes of Quaker Chewy Mini Dipps in Birthday Blast flavor to store in your pantry for the next time you need a quick snack to take on-the-go!
