Give the kids a great after school snack with this Cheerios Trail Mix!
Growing up, anytime we went on road trips or just needed an easy snack my mom would always make this Cheerios Trail Mix. I always thought trail mix was made with cheerios until I got older and realized most people didn’t make it this way. But we did and it’s so delicious. I can usually be seen picking out the cheerios and m&m’s because something about the combo of those two is so good.
My mom always made this Cheerios Trail Mix with regular Cheerios but I decided to mix it up a bit and try a new flavor so I picked up not only the regular Cheerios but also the Frosted Cheerios at Publix. I loved the idea of adding the Frosted Cheerios because I’m always up for a little bit more sweetness.
This snack is so easy to make and it’s perfect for an easy after school snack since we are right in the middle of school getting back going and I know you’re all looking for easy snacks for the kids!

I like the original cheerios and would like to try banana nut cheerios
My mom always made trail mix with cheerios too! Glad other people did too!
On our roadtrip Miles and I had a lot of cheerio trail mix with dark chocolate chips! We quickly realized that chocolate chips melt a lot faster than M&M’s so you have to be careful of that but it was a good snack when we didn’t want something too sweet!
I would try the Multi Grain Cheerios and would make the Banana, Walnut and Multi Grain Cheerios™ Cake
The protein cheerios with cinnamon and almond looks so good!! I would also love to make the apple cinnamon cheerio crisp!
I love to try the whole grain cheerios in a cereal bar!!
