It was great to have a Leap day last week for Leap year. It was like having an extra day (although I worked), but I was so excited to be a part of the “Delightful Discoveries for Leap Year Campaign” for Quaker. I had the chance to giveaway a $75 Visa gift card to a great blogger, Marnely Rodriguez, who won it from my blog a week ago. For my Leap Day discovery, I used my time to create a new Easy Trail Mix Recipe with the new Honey Nut Oatmeal Squares from Quaker. This is a wonderful Easy Trail Mix to eat for a great afternoon snack for the kids and adults. It also makes a great topping to stir in nonfat Greek yogurt, and it’s perfect to make to take on trips (I think I’ll be making some before spring break). My kids and neighbors went wild over it, and before I could get my hands on it, it was all gone.

This is a GREAT spring break idea for my kids. Thanks!
You had me at “easy”. I agree with Amy. I am going to make this as it’s perfect for road and plane trips as well as school lunchbox snack
Easy and healthy! I love it!
What a great idea – making your own trail mix. Love all the mix-ins.
Forget snack time, I wish I had this for breakfast!!
I love this idea! I could just snack on the Oatmeal squares for days! 😉
Love this simple + healthy trail mix recipe 🙂
Love trail mixes especially the ones with nuts. When I get super hungry & overdue for a meal I have some it sustains me until I get a nutritious meal instead of grabbing junk.
