Trail Mix and Apricot Yoghurt Balls

My two new favourite snacks!

Trail mix is a mixture of various nuts and dried fruit including almonds, cashews, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, dried apple, sultanas and really just about anything you want to put in there. The nuts are typically raw and unsalted (as opposed to roasted and salted). I love it because it's so healthy, so when I get hungry between meals and snack on handfuls of this stuff I don't actually feel guilty the way I would snacking on chocolate or lollies.

I discovered Apricot Yoghurt Balls because, funnily enough, my friend Olivia feeds them to her 2 and 3 year old children as snacks. No it's not baby food but it is yummy! Basically it's dried sweetened apricot covered by yoghurt and it's ball-shaped.

Enough said. If you're after healthy snacks these delicious foods can be found in the health food section of any good supermarket.

Devi, your comment made me laugh so loudly that James in the other room wondered what was up.

Last Sunday James and I were watching the kids, Olivia said we could help ourselves to anything. She'd also left a bowl of yoghurt balls for Sophie's snack. Made me want some, so I checked ou their pantry. Alas, none left. :)

At least I was a big enough person to not steal one of Sophie's. LOL
