Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 1 cup freeze-dried blueberries
- 1 cup freeze-dried mango
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries (optional, for extra tartness)
- 1/4 cup small, kid-friendly chocolate chips (optional, for a treat)
Instructions
- Gather all your desired freeze-dried fruits. I love using a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and mango because Leo and Mia always gobble them up!
- In a large bowl, gently combine the freeze-dried fruits. If you’re adding chocolate chips, toss them in now too.
- Stir everything together until well mixed. You want a colorful assortment that will catch your child’s eye.
- Portion the mix into individual snack bags or small containers for easy grab-and-go options. This makes school lunches and after-school snacks a breeze!
- Store the remaining mix in an airtight container at room temperature. It stays fresh and crispy for weeks.
Notes
- Vary the fruits based on your child’s preferences. My kids love apples and peaches too!
- This mix is great for adding to yogurt, oatmeal, or even as a crunchy topping for ice cream.
- For younger toddlers, you can gently crush some of the larger fruit pieces to make them easier to chew.
