Directions:

STEP 1

Cut the Parmigiano Reggiano into 3/8-inch cubes. Cut the pecans in half, and cut the pitted dates in 3/8-inch pieces.

STEP 2

Combine all ingredients and then put 1/4-cup servings in individual zipper storage bags. Toss them into your day pack and get moving. There is no need to refrigerate the mix, because Parmigiano Reggiano is a very hard cheese and can be safely stored at room temperature for a day or two. (The cereal and nuts lose a bit of their original crunch, but never get soft.)
