I give this to Ethan before he goes to school. You can also add it to yogurt for a yummy snack.

1 c EACH: shredded coconut, almond slivers (or smashed walnuts), sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, wheat germ

Honey Almond Granola Bars
I found these at EatingWell.com (although I have made a few tweeks). I don't really measure this anymore - I just kinda dump in what I have - usually nuts, seeds, etc. They are really easy to make and great for kids (and parent's on the go)! I can eat tons of these!
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon flaxseeds, preferably golden
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 cup unsweetened whole-grain puffed cereal like Kashi
1/3 cup dried cranberry's
1/3 cup chopped dried apricots
1/3 cup chopped raisins
1/4 cup creamy almond butter
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat an 8-inch-square pan with cooking spray.
Spread oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds and sesame seeds on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the oats are lightly toasted and the nuts are fragrant, shaking the pan halfway through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Add cereal, cranberry's, apricots, chocolate chips and raisins; toss to combine.
Combine almond butter, honey, vanilla and salt in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until the mixture bubbles lightly, 2 to 5 minutes.
Immediately pour the almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or spatula until no dry spots remain. Transfer to the prepared pan. Use a spatula to press the mixture down to make it flat. Put in the fridge for about 2 hours. Cut into bars.
