Give your kids a delicious after-school snack that is super easy to make, colorful, and easily customizable with stuff that they really love. 

If your kid is anything like mine, you are constantly on the hunt for delicious, and somewhat healthy, after-school snack recipes. For young children, it is all about variety. You also need something that can be put together in a jiffy, and if it makes almost no mess, all the better.

Now, who doesn’t love popcorn? While plain popcorn, just lightly salted for flavor, is actually a pretty healthy snack choice on its own, we can jazz it up in any number of ways. This Popcorn Trail Mix is one of our favorites.

Popcorn Trail Mix After-School Snack Recipe

The easiest recipe is a simple popcorn trail mix full of delicious things that kids love to eat. Pretzels, nuts, dried cranberries, and even some candy; they are kids after all! I have used lightly roasted cashew nuts and pistachios here, but feel free to use peanuts, almonds, or any kind of nuts that your kids like. The same goes for the dried cranberries. Feel free to replace with raisins, chopped dried apricots, or any other fruit.

The recipe is super duper simple and even a young child can make this. Just dump all the ingredients in a large bowl, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar, and mix it up. That’s it! Serve with a glass of milk for an easy and healthy snack.

Popcorn Trail Mix

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Popcorn Trail Mix

Ingredients

  • Popcorn - 5 cups, popped, lightly salted
  • Pretzels - 1 cup
  • Cashew nuts - 1/4 cup
  • Pistachios - 1/4 cup
  • Dried cranberries - 1/4 cup
  • M&M'S® or other candy - 1/4 cup
  • Cinnamon powder - 1 tsp
  • Sugar - 2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
  2. Store in covered containers at room temperature.

Notes

Home Chef Tips: 1. A regular-sized bag of microwave popcorn will yield almost 5 cups popped popcorn. Use plain or just lightly salted popcorn to keep it healthier. 2. You can replace cashew nuts and pistachios with other nuts like almonds or peanuts. 3. You can use raisins or chopped up dried apricots instead of dried cranberries. 4. Pack portions of popcorn trail mix in cute jars for gifting.
