Crunchy Fruit Snack Mix

Crunchy Fruit Snack Mix
Recipe Tip
Whole Grain Goodness
Eating at least 3 servings of whole grains like Cheerios® cereal daily may help reduce blood cholesterol. Look for the word "whole" to be sure you get the whole grain.
Did You Know?
The cinnamon and ginger lend a spice twist to this amazing-tasting snack mix. Loaded with cereal, nuts and dried fruits, it stores well, so keep it on hand and munch on small amounts when you have a snack attack.

Crunchy fruit snack mix
Made this for a small group meeting and everyone loved it. I added whole almonds instead of the sliced it was a big hit. Can't wait to make more
