EAT | Trail Mix 3 Ways

[@kassf3443]

I'm a 20 year old, living at university, studying to be a teacher. I have to say thank you so much, all of the WhatUpMoms' videos help me out so much. Meg, you have saved me so much money with all your recipes. Elle, you help me with my babysitting job. Brooke, you help me with decorating my accommodation room on campus. Connie helped me with my many nieces and nephews. I love you guys so much.

One of the daycare centers I once worked at had the simplest but most addictive snack ever - it was oyster crackers and raisins. It was the PERFECT sweet and salty combo. My mom always brings it to school (she's a special ed teacher so she keeps snacks and the like on hand for when the kids need an extra break or a distraction) and the kids LOVE it. I usually mix a whole bag of oyster crackers (the littler ones) with a whole container of raisins in a tupperware or glad container so it's ready to go and stays fresh.

+Caitie George Oh that sounds good

[@e.k8033]

Congrats on the streamy and Elle's pregnancy!!

[@hibris9723]

[@kategillett2425]

Nope! I'm 13!!

[@eshalzafar5604]

[@sophswift5211]

I'm 12 and obsessed! Lol

[@maryhanratty4481]

I'm 12 and obsessed. Waiting on today's video

[@yltbeuty101.7]

no im 11 and i love love this show

[@Brooklynmamaskitchen]

love these ideas! No nuts are allowed at my kindergartener's school, so I will be skipping those. I make a trail mix that my oldest adores and it is - dried apple slices, pretzels, dried apricots, M&Ms and sunflower seeds. Kind of a weird combo, but super yum.

[@iammicrowavable]

I'm a uni student in Australia watching this to avoid going to sleep, I feel like it is ok because it is mum approved, right?

[@nimisha6584]

Lol!

[@NMN_CP]

Meg I was watching some of the older videos you guys did like Ford's first birthday or your funny ads or even when you won the streamy and you were surprised and I must say, you have the most gorgeous natural facial expressions ever!I can't explain it, but you could win an oscar for it! It feels like you could act any emotional scene, sad or happy and touch everyone's heart! All of you seem like nice people. Greetings from Greece xx

[@memorylayne78]

Love trail mix! I love to go to the bulk foods section at our local Winco to buy the dried fruits and nuts. You can use some of these ideas to make your own granola bars. I make a "monkey bar" with oats, flax seeds, honey, peanuts, chocolate, and coconut and some crumbled up banana chips. Thanks again for the great ideas Meg :)

[@alisonmonroe8295]

I just turned 13 on Saturday and one of the reasons I want to have kids when I grow up is because of how awesome you guts are you are so awesome and I love you guys! xoxo

[@alisonmonroe8295]

+whatsupmoms you guys truly rock

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Alison Monroe Happy Birthday!

[@alisonmonroe8295]

WhatsUpMoms​ o my goodness I can't believe you replied I came home from school early today as I'm loaded with the cold and I honestly think you just made my year. Lots of love from northern Ireland xoxo

[@xdancingintherain]

Happy Birthday from a fellow Northern Irish person :) xxx

[@jess6155]

I love your combos! I love mixing together almonds, cashews, cranberries, dark chocolate and pretzels, as well some pumpkin seeds if I feel like it. I also love making ones with cashews, mangoes, pretzels and a bit of coconut! I like it because dried mangoes are able to fit the sweet and the dried fruit section! (or maybe it's just the sweet, since they probably have added sugar since they taste pretty sweet)

[@mollyevesham2976]

I'd love to see more recipes for meals and dinners:) xx

[@stefaniearriaga304]

I'm 13 and don't have kids but I love watching these videos!😍

[@tonyakockx9686]

Trail mixes are so great - loved the little jar idea!!!!

[@rachelcusumano3761]

Peanut butter filled pretzels, dried blueberries, dried mango, Life cereal, Greek yogurt covered craisins, cashews, marshmallows, mini choc chips to name a few of the yummy things I'd choose from to make a trail mix in addition to what Meg already mentioned. Yummy snack ideas.

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Rachel Cusumano Love the marshmallows for a different texture!

[@BusyBeingMomof3]

I love homemade trail mix. I've never tried popcorn in my trail mix. Thanks for sharing!

[@cloudmom]

Great video, Meg! This trail mix formula seems great and simple.. perfect for us busy moms! Your hair looks fabulous, BTW!! xx

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+CloudMom Haha thanks! I just cut it because it started to get so scraggly!

[@yvetteyasui]

love the formula! never thought of make your own trail mix with more than 2 ingredients, and your combos look so tasty!

[@HannaHasAPlan]

Your hair looks gorgeous in this video, and you look fab in black! xxx

[@laylacee2892]

I'm only 10 and I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this channel.

[@imkebester2681]

These combos look amazing Meg! Can't wait to try them out! the 'afternoon snack attack' looks like my cup of tea, or in this case, my jar of trail mix! x

[@lovetori135]

[@heyitsjen9171]

Did anyone notice that the fancy pants trail mix was actually called 'fany' pants trail mix?! Oops hehe x

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+HeyItsJen HA! Got a good laugh when I realized that! :)

[@Amelia-es5si]

+HeyItsJen Haha actually didnt realise that until you pointed it out..... hehe! :)

[@heavenb9084]

Lol

[@iixcasey9333]

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Myka Stauffer Thank you Myka!

[@sophiejoseph894]

Hi Meg, could you please make a video on what you pack for your kids' lunch boxes?

[@zikalakalooriis]

Thanks for your recipes! I love it how I can be the cool aunt giving treats to my nephew, but in fact the treats are mummy-approved. Makes me look good in the eyes of the kid AND his parents haha. Lots of love to you guys and congrats for the streamy!!

[@gabriellehall8630]

my favriout trail mix is halfs of chocolate buttons,dried orange,rsisons and almons.And i usually put it in a paper cup😊

[@DoTheMost-]

The cranberry tail mix 😍

[@jennmiller7295]

I'm trying eat healthier and pack more lunches for myself and I literally can't wait to make some of these. I love how easy you made it bc store bought stuff is loaded with extra bad stuff.

[@snehaahmed9761]

My personal favorite troep mix is what's up moms diy ganola .Nuts .Choco loops, dark chocolate chip.and dried fruit

[@MyLifePlusKids]

Yum!! This has inspired me to think more out of the box for after school snacks- thanks!!! :)

[@alanalaprise]

I'm only 12 and I enjoy you and the other moms you guys are awesome

[@suneethaprasad6548]

[@rissaroo3546]

I want to know how Meg does her hair! It always looks so effortless!

[@heavenb9084]

Even though I'm just 11 I love your videos such healthy recipes for kids

[@jill1277]

I do a sweet one for dessert. I use graham crackers or golden Graham's, mini marshmallows and dark chocolate chips. The kids love it.

[@sweetpotatochronicles6999]

Love that you could make a big batch of these trail mixes to get you through a week. Super ideas! We just posted a video about our favourite snacks, too. We get so many questions from parents about snacks - it can be just as challenging as school lunches. Thanks for another great video!

[@NoabakesDiy]

I'm 12 years old but I still love your videos!! :)

[@thesinglemomlife1404]

Love this video. It's sports season in my house between, football, soccer, conditioning for basketball, 3 kids, homework and everyday life I need something that I can make ahead and we can grab and go. These would also be great for game/team snacks.

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Thesinglemomlife 1 I am just getting into the whole "sports" season thing and it's busy! Wow!

[@Kjones238]

omg, just saw your little note saying it'll be up this afternoon. wish I saw that beforehand lol

[@saleena2301]

Can you make a video about when your kids are sick and what you can make them that will make them feel better.

[@marysankey6739]

SUCH a good idea, and I love that you gave us categories that we can mix our own!

[@MissAwesomeness8]

Can you guys make a DIY Christmas decor video? I love your videos so much!

[@amymahon4521]

this will help a lot my daughter eats trail mix a lot now I have something for her to try!

[@teamboobooseth1]

I would honestly make either of the first two for myself to take to school (college, actually) just to snack on in class.

[@veronicarivera3357]

You have a new subscriber ❤️☺️ I love these ideas! Will do for my kids ❤️

[@erinmoore5163]

Meg's hair is so long I love it

[@sevengoldengirlygirly5301]

Me too I am12 years old and i am still watching your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tanyahussain6205]

OMG you are like the best cooker ive ever seen those so yummy love your vidoes

[@123lydiaandmicah]

adding some of the ingredients to my grocery list! Love these ideas. would love to see ideas about making more healthy snack alternatives. and maybe some Mommy healthy snacks?

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Justin Evans Good idea! You mean you don't want to eat goldfish all day? :)

[@thatbelovedlife829]

such great ideas!!! these will be perfect for my husband's work lunches.

[@kaylahooley4780]

I love these. I was just trying to come up with new recipes and these gave me some ideas! Thanks Meg! You can also take those trail mix and turn them into bars. Very similar to the brand KIND bars. One of my favorites!

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Kayla Hooley Great idea!

[@brittanyelizabeth1988]

My kids love trail mix! We make ours with: golf fish almonds raisins m&ms All 3 of yours looked great!

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Brittany Harty That's a great kid one!

[@zennybee89]

This is great! Thanks for the formula and combination ideas, I'm excited to try them out. My husband will love them! My baby is too small to be eating nuts, but I'm thinking I'll try a baby-proofed one in the meantime. :) Thanks, absolutely loved this video!!

[@heartfamily3192]

I love trail mix so much

[@BubblegumHijab]

cool cant wait to try these out

[@rachel9933]

Great video Meg! I think I'm gonna try the afternoon snack attack trial mix, it looks amazing.

[@fedupwithusernames]

I've never liked trail mix because it's so dry and crunchy. Also most store-bought trail mixes have raisins and nuts that I don't like... but I've never thought about making my own. Maybe I should though, the monkey one and the one with cranberries looked really good.

[@izzyreece7690]

Looks so good when will Elle's video be up? I have been reloaded all day can't wait!! I love your channel it helps so much especially if you have 2 kids😂

[@boasmarlee]

I Tried All Of Them Im Homeschooled And Im On My Break On School And It Was So Yummy I Loved The Afternoon Snack Attack !

[@KendraMoralez]

wow meg these look great and your hair is getting really long too, looks beautiful!

[@kaitlynchiu7378]

Marshmallows would be great with oats and cashews! I'd like to try all of them in one mix.

[@angelree4152]

Meg do you remind the short shot with the homemade muffins on the plane (i think there with chocolate?) from your 'Travel Snacks' video? Please make a recipe! Xx

[@OzgurumCawley]

Can you post some ideas about how you get your babies sleep?!

[@Kanoelaa1986]

would love to see how you could make brunch both adult friendly and kid friendly.... it would be great since then holidays are coming

[@veronicaacurio8723]

mine is coco chips with pretzels and freeze dried apples and banana

[@ThatGtagGuyVR]

And here I've been snacking on banana chips thinking I'm being healthy LOL. No wonder they're so delicious!

[@eddiebrevet4000]

Soak barley or wheat in milk , over night, drain, place in flat pan, bake, low heat. Macaroni or other grains can be used .

[@jeezerika]

I've been watching Elle since she started her first channel even though I'm only 14 I love you guys

[@sophialane4434]

Oh my gosh I'm craving sunflower seeds and trail mix right now

[@WaddleandBiscuit]

I recommend instead using regular chocolate use m&ms My mum is a childminder so I can tell you presentation is key so if you add m&ms you can add some bright colours

[@laurakinsella913]

hay I'm not a mom but try doing this but put the trail mix in a smaller container and add a container of natural yogurt with a squeeze of honey a healthier alternative to a couner yogurt

[@britneylee5802]

awesome Meg! definitely trying this out! never change ❤

[@misterMW10]

My first questions is: 'How do you eat that?' or 'How do you get al the things in a scoop of your hand?' and second: is a kitchen machine not more practical or do you then lose vitamins and anti-oxidants? or you could make a smoothie out of that: When you want savory tast you milk, tea (like Enlighs blends) and with a more sweet one you use a bery juice r orange juice Keep Up the good work and greetings from the Netherlands

[@Lealpi1]

Love this! Trail mix is awesome, just a note to say you have put Fany pants instead of Fancy pants in the video xx

[@jabae638]

I have recently begun a healthier lifestyle choice for my kids... been an arduous but rewarding journey. Ive been doing simple trail mixes like baked and sea-salted peanuts with home made fudge . I usually put the baked peanuts into a bag with the fudge and seal them, with a heat sealer, so that i wont have to make them everyday but I have found that the peanuts are getting soft... not rancid but soft... is it that the peanuts are absorbing the fudge's moisture? Would really appreciate your opinion. And i look forward to more of your videos. Just subscribed! :)

[@gabbye1244]

I love e how this channel is made for moms,yet so many Tweens like it too😊

[@pkeele]

Yum! Now I just need to play around with making yogurt covered raisins. I feel like it can be done...we'll see.

[@WhatsUpMOMS]

+Patricia Keele I have been trying to make yogurt covered raisins but having trouble finding a healthy way that tastes good. Let me know what you come up with.

[@pkeele]

Will do!

[@siddhiraina5368]

Very interesting video. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends. I have been using Roasted Multivitamin Trail Mix from True Elements - a clean label food brand as a breakfast option and they are really tasty and healthy. Thank you.

[@debbypramestya3596]
