<\/p>\nThe holidays are upon us and airports everywhere are buzzing with anxious travelers. While most people will be limited to choosing between an overpriced snack pack and greasy fast food joint, you will be prepared! Go you! Try these 3 simple and travel-friendly snack recipes.
\n<\/p>\n
Makes 5 Servings
\n1\/3 cup almonds
\n1\/3 cup cashews
\n1\/3 cup walnuts
\n1\/3 cup raisins
\n2 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut flakes
\n\u00bc cup organic dark chocolate chips
\nA simple trail mix with assorted nuts (e.g. walnuts, cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds and pistachios) and dried fruit is great heart healthy snack that\u2019s loaded with both omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Throw in a little dried fruit or dark chocolate for a satisfying burst of energy. Prepare a large bulk bag, or make individual \u00bc cup portions. Trail mixes travel well and fit nicely in your carry-on.
\n<\/p>\n

\n1\/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
\n1\/8 teaspoon ground ginger

\n~Quick Recipe~
\n\u2022\tPreheat oven to 225\u00baF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
\n\u2022\tCore the apple and cut into slices that are between 1\/8- and 1\/4-inch thick.
\n\u2022\tPlace the apple slices in a large bowl.
\n\u2022\tCombine the spices and sprinkle them over the apple rings, using your hands to gently toss and coat.
\n\u2022\tTransfer the apple slices to the baking sheet.
\n\u2022\tBake the apples for 60-90 minutes (until they’re dried and shriveled, but still tender).
\nWant an apple but too worried it will bruise on its way through security? Try baking apple chips! Prepare this recipe the night before travel for a sweet and crunchy travel snack. Homemade baked apples pack all the flavor without the added sugar and sulfites of store-bought brands.
