My son was asking me to pack some snacks to eat on the way back home from his school. I had been packing fruits thinking that would give him energy and keep him fresh. It was then I came across this simple recipe for snack, which would keep us full and give us quick burst of energy.

- Almond (sliced) – ¼ cup
- Dried fruit- ½ cup (I used dried cranberries)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 300° F.
2. Place cereals, almonds, cranberries in a large bowl.
