Island Cruiser Mix

12. Aug, 2010 2 Comments Print This Article

Take this great mix for a family bike ride to the beach or cruise to the park. It’s easy to make and with its mix of carbs for energy with a touch of salt and protein appropriate after a workout, it is a great après-ride snack. It’s a family-friendly snack that is packable for a sports snack or for school. It is just as nice for a long bike ride, a treat with a little salt, a little sweet with carbs, some protein and some whole grain.

Store in an air-tight container or zip-lock bag.

Mix equal parts:

Animal crackers, (Stouffers has a nice crisp crackers which leave no mess on your fingers)
Mini wheat crackers (e.g. Kashi brand)
Almonds (raw or unsalted, roasted)
Dried cranberries–Craisins (or other dried fruit)
Mini pretzels

Thanks to Kristi Spence, MS., RD (Sports Dietician) for this mix idea!
