Happy Mail makes my day. A little something on my desk at work makes me smile. Healthy snack ideas are always fun to find. When I saw Shelley with The House of Smiths post last week I knew I had to make her project. You may have noticed that Ball is celebrating 100 years this year and to commemorate it you can purchase amazing blue-tinted mason jars. The moment I saw them sitting on the shelf at Target I stocked up. With no project in mind I knew something would come to me eventually and I just couldn’t pass them up. Then it happened, Shelley posted this adorable project and all of a sudden my blue jars had purpose!
I shopped my local Whole Foods to choose a few healthy snack ideas to throw into the mix and get that salty sweet combo so many people love. I included dry roasted sunflower seeds, yogurt covered raisins, cashews, semisweet carob chips. dry roasted almonds and peanut butter chips.
After mixing everything together and filling my adorable blue mason jars, I made a simple tag to attach with twine. A few made it into local girls hands and a few went in the mail to friends across the country.
If you are going to be mailing them make sure that weather is on your side, or that you chose non-melting ingredients.
super darling cute!!!!
Loved getting this as a sweet surprise in my mail-box last week! Thanks again, love!
Love these busy blogger bites! So cute AND yummy 🙂 Wish I had them at my computer right now!
Ohhhh this looks so good, this is my kind of snack! Except that I’d have a hard time not eating the entire bowl before filling the jars! Ha! What a great little gift idea, too!
You will want to make extra for sure! It is perfect to have in the pantry for a quick snack too.
Where was this post 2 days ago when I was wandering the grocery store aisles in a mental battle about whether or not to buy chocolate?! This looks perfect. I’m definitely going to have to start keeping my own little mason jar snack stash handy!
This is such a great idea! My husband and I are trying to be better about what we snack on and this looks yummy and better then what we currently eat. I also love your blog design! I followed you on bloglovin’ so I can keep up with your great ideas! Have a good one!
It is super tasty and you an change it up by adding your favorites. I think my next batch will have banana chips in it.
This looks great… and I really like the looks of using the jars to package it… just adds to the charm. 🙂
I probably have an unhealthy love of mason jars;)
Pinned this! Thanks for posting to WW
Oh yum! I love Whole Foods. They have the funnest things in the bulk aisles.
Right!! It’s like a foodie adventure every week. Makes grocery shopping fun.
I am always looking for healthy treats to have on hand. These would be great. They look so nice in the blue mason jars.

You should have a huge jar made up in the pantry for these types of emergencies!
Cute idea! This would make such a sweet gift.
My kind of snack. Writing down ingredients right now! Thanks for linking up with Thursday Favorite Things!

I’ve been looking for a snack mix with the perfect healthy:sweetness ratio and have decided THIS is it!! I can’t to make some and munch on it while I’m blogging. Thanks for sharing on Weekend Bites at Practical Parenting Ideas. Find it on this week’s features!
I’m dropping by from the Creative Exchange link party. This looks like such a healthy snack — well, except for the raisins. I don’t like raisins. 🙂 Maybe I could just double the amount of carob chips…
Perfect! I too have a bunch of these blue jars. What a great and yummy idea!
My husband is the trail mix maker in this house, though his aren’t usually as healthy as this one.
Thanks for sharing on Tasty Tuesdays, hope to see you back next week.
