Save the Coconuts!
I’m sure you are quite aware by now that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here at Kelapo, we are launching our own campaign to Save the Coconuts!
I found this great recipe, designed specifically for people living with cancer. It is meant to be an easy snack mix to keep on hand to munch on, even if the patient isn’t feeling hungry. This snack mix is a good source of fiber is high in iron and folic acid. Plus, I replaced the butter in the recipe with coconut oil, which may support a healthy immune system!
Crunchy Snack Mix (adapted from Betty Crocker Living with Cancer Cookbook)
4 cups Total® Raisin Bran cereal
¹⁄₃ cup sliced almonds
1 bag (8 oz) dried mixed fruit (1 ½ cups), cut into ½-inch pieces
¼ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Kelapo Coconut Oil
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Heat oven to 300°F. In large bowl, place cereal, almonds and fruit; set aside.
In 1-quart saucepan, heat brown sugar and coconut oil over low heat, stirring occasionally, until coconut oil is melted. Stir in cinnamon and ginger. Pour over cereal mixture; toss until evenly coated. Spread in ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan.
Bake 15 minutes, stirring twice. Spread on waxed paper. Cool about 30 minutes. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
