I don't buy too many highly processed snacks, and there are only so many organic snack options. Those, coupled with cheese sticks, yogurt and fruit just wasn't cutting it.
Sooo, I Googled something like "afternoon snacks" and came up with a few different ideas. I adapted a few of the recipes and came up with one real winner. I made it once, then forgot about it. Until swim team started up again this summer...
The two must-have ingredients from Trader Joe's are the Crisp Rice Cereal and the Dried Berry Medley (also a tasty treat on its own.) See recipe at the bottom of this post, along with a photo of the completed snack masterpiece.
