Shredded coconut or coconut chips

Collect up your ingredients for making trail mix. I like to get a few things from each category though if we are hiking somewhere hot, I'll leave out the chocolate category so that it doesn't melt into a mess.

Put the assorted ingredients into different bowls or into the cups of a muffin tin.

Give your kids baggies/sacks/tupperware and let them pick and choose what they would like in their trail mix.

Toss any "leftovers" from the bowls into a big bag. We call that "family trail mix" and we share it when their individual bags are gone.

Go on an adventure and enjoy when you need a snack.

I love all the ideas here. Thanks for the suggestions.
