Super Energy Trail Mix

So as many of you will already know, I am on a mission to see if I can sneak some superfoods into my recipes without anyone noticing!

Since my lo is now off dairy as well as gluten I figure it is even more important to get those vital nutrients into her!  So, I came up with this this morning while the kids were watching a bit of tele before school (bad mum I know, but hey…they are tired!!!).

It will get tested out on the way to swimming later.  Hopefully it will get the thumbs up.  Actually, I hope it doesn’t because I LOVE it!  I had a few sneaky spoonfuls after coming in from a run in the drizzle earlier and I  don’t feel in the least bit hungry for lunch.  That is saying something because I am normally routing around in the kitchen looking for lunch any time from 11.30am!!!

3. Drizzle over the honey and add the cinnamon and ginger.
