Simple fiber-up snack mix

Preparation time: 10 minutes

1/2 17-ounce box Cracklin’ Oat Bran cereal
1/2 cup mixed dried berries (strawberries, cranberries, cherries, blueberries)
1/2 cup natural pitted dates, chopped
1/3 cup broken walnut pieces

Combine all ingredients in a large, zip-top bag and shake gently to mix. Store in zip-top bag or airtight container. For best quality, eat within 4–5 days (after 4–5 days, cereal softens some from moisture in the fruit).

Yield: 4 3/4 cups
Serving Size: 1/2 cup
