I just whipped up a preliminary batch of Hypoallergenic Power Trail Mix, based solely on what was already in the kitchen:

Roasted peanuts
Roasted sunflower seed kernels
Bran twigs (from "Kashi GoodFriends" cereal)
Granola clusters (from same)
Sweetened dried cranberries
Dried mangoes torn into nibble-sized pieces
Chocolate chips

I am inordinately pleased with myself. Protein, healthy fats, vitamins A and C, fiber, and dense calories, all in a portable, easy-to-eat format. Plus chocolate, which has been scientifically linked to easier temperament in babies. Plus, it's salty. And crunchy. And chewy. And sweet.

Mmmm, salty.

Sounds way yummy. Nuts and dried fruits were my friends during pregnancy too. And chocolate, but you knew that. :-)

Hint for the future that I hope you won't need - raw almonds chewed slowly into a pulp are good for heartburn.

Alas, in my case, raw almonds chewed slowly into a pulp would be good for an anaphylactic reaction. I'm going to have to stick to Tums.

Oh well - at least you'll know you're getting enough calcium!
