Kids Cuisine

It’s always nice when you can find a kids’ snack food that has the enticement of bad food, but isn’t actually all that bad. The new Nabisco Teddy Graham Trail Mix is fun for kids (especially toddlers who haven’t had any nuts yet).

There are two types, a Bears and Bees mix and a Bears and Cheese trail mix. We picked up the Bears and Bees version at the store.

There’s no question. This isn’t the perfect kid snack food. This isn’t as healthy as serving up fresh fruit or veggies. It also is something you could totally make yourself. In fact, I found a teddy bear trail mix recipe here.

It is, however, a nice occasional alternative to typical packaged snack foods and cookies. It’s also nice to have something nonperishable in the pantry that’s just ready to toss at hungry kids.

Both varieties have 130 calories per serving (one-eight of the box), 3.5 grams of fat, 2 grams of protein, 6 grams of sugar and 1 gram of fiber.

The Bears and Bees version has chocolate Teddy Grahams, graham bee cookies, pretzels, and yogurt covered raisins. It was extremely popular with my kids, probably even more so than when they just get Teddy Grahams for snack.
