good use for leftover trail mix

[Soundguy]

on some weekends when i hang out with the guys we have been trying to eat healthier.

no more potator chips cookies donuts and sode, now vegi and fruit trays and nut and unsweetened ( if possible ) dried fruit and cerial mixes for munchies.

always have a bit of the dry cerial and nut and fruit mix left over. not enough to do much with.. but some.

i eat alot of oatmeal and cream of wheat now also.. so this am sprinkled a spoonfull of the nut / fruit mix on.. makes a good oatmeal topper!

Thanks for the idea Soundguy. I know I need to find a good substitute for butter and sugar on my hot cereal!

yep.. can't do sugar myself.. or butter.

havn't tasted butter or raw sugar since november...

I sometimes add fruit to my hot cerial for sweetner. even the unsweetened fruit in small cups ( low callory peaches - 25c per serving or oranges 40c per serving, no sugar ).. add a gret sweet taste to cream of wheat or oatmeal.. I even found some sugar free syrup to add in for a bit of flavor when needed.

this am I was feeling extra hungry.. had cow and oatmeal mixed, plus a serving of mandrin oranges in water, no sugar added .. .. they really added a nice texture to the cerial.. then i sprinkled on a couple teaspoons of the trail mix.. in this case it was papya, pinepply, raisen, cherries and pistachio and cashew piecs.. gave it a stire, and poured some sugar free cranberry juice and had a nice BIG bowl of cerial and juice for 255 callories.. high fibre, whole grains, a lil fat.. but not the bad kind, not much sugar.. but fills you up good.

for lunch i forsee some whole grain pita chips (made em myself ) and fat free cream cheese, a bowl of plain cheerios in fat free milk and a 90 callorie no sugar, high protien shake

I never eat that many potato chips or fries. But I do like the cookies and candies! :licking:

I'm getting to "that age" where I have to limit my intake and increase my activity. Yikes!!! I have become... MY FATHER!!! :laughing:

Sounds like a plan. Add a few taters cooked in bacon grease. All washed down with a beer.:drink:
