A hand held snack with dried fruit is one of the simplest and most satisfying ways to fuel your day. Portable, nutrient-rich, and endlessly versatile, dried fruit snacks fit into busy lifestyles while delivering fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cranberries, dates, or mix)
  • 2 tbsp nuts or seeds (almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds)
  • Optional: 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips or coconut flakes
  • Pinch of cinnamon or sea salt for extra flavor (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure ½ cup of your favorite dried fruit.
  2. Combine with nuts or seeds in a small reusable container or bag.
  3. Add optional extras like chocolate chips, coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  4. Shake or mix until evenly combined.
  5. Pack in a lunchbox, office drawer, or travel bag for a quick, hand held snack anytime.

Notes

Dried fruit is calorie-dense compared to fresh fruit, so portion control is key. Pairing with nuts or seeds balances natural sugars with protein and healthy fats. Store in an airtight container for freshness. Great for school lunches, office snacks, or hiking fuel.
