“Fig newtons”  now come in many  fruit flavors, not just fig.  Choose your favorites or use a combination of two colors such as half apple, half strawberry. Put them on a cutting board and use a sharp chef’s knife to cut each one into 9 pieces. 

4 cups diced “newton” cookies

1 cup milled hemp seed or flax seed OR

1 cup toasted sesame seeds

2 cups yogurt-covered raisins

2 cups whole pecans

2 cups whole roasted almonds

Dice cookies and put in a large plastic bag with the hemp or flax seed. Toss gently and seeds will coat the sticky edges.  Add remaining ingredients and carefully toss again.  Measure by the cup or half cup snack bags and tuck into your purse, pocket or backpack.   Keep in a cool place. Just grab a container of hot coffee or herbal tea and you’re good to go!
