Please Share Healthy Snack Ideas for Toddlers

My toddler son loves: Cheese sliced thin, flaxseed crackers, edamame, yo-baby yogurt, fruit (especially cantaloupe, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, mango and bananas lots of color), avocado, tomatoes and steamed veggies. My son loves to snack on steamed veggies mixed with sweet potato or warm tortillas and hummus and especially fruit smoothies! Buy real colorful veggies like red/yellow peppers, carrots, yellow squash etc. Sometimes I’ll put cream cheese and jelly on his crackers or diced up tomato & avocado. I just stay on top of slicing up the fruit & veggies, putting in Tupperware to make it all easy to grab quick when he wants a snack. Have fun!

just some of what we do...

goldfish crackers
cheese slices or string cheese
yogurt
cheerios
graham crackers
club crackers w/cheese or peanut butter
raisins
fruit slices (pear, apple, banana)
cottage cheese with fruit

gerber has a great line of snacks:
fruit strips
wheels
mini cheeto looking thingys
puffs
sliced fruits and veggies

What I did was now that my son has started preschool, I use a lot of their snack ideas...they are very creative and introduce some cool foods.

Good Luck!

One of my daughter's favorites is this; apple sauce, raisins, and a pinch of cinnamon (or you could just buy the "cinnamon apple sauce" I guess and add the raisins.)

She also loves yogurt (sometimes I'll put a few flakes of fiber one cereal in it too, or some fruit), cheese sticks, ANY fruit, cottage cheese with fruit in it (the little boy I babysit loves it with little pieces of cherry tomatoes in it!), animal cookies (Gerber makes some healthier, whole wheat ones), and my daughter also likes some raw vegetables cut up real small such as; celery, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, etc(this depends on how well your child can chew of course).

Luckily for me, my daughter is not a picky eater, but if your child is, just keep trying different things and try to make them "fun". For example, maybe try adding a light cream cheese dip with fruit, or a small cup of "healthier" salad dressing for dipping veggies (most kids just love to "dip" stuff), or by making food in a smiley face on the plate, etc.

Good luck!

my daughter is 22 months old and this is what i give her as snacks. theres endless possibilities you can do.

diced baby carrots and other veggies (broccoli, celery (cooked so its not so stringy), canned green beans)
cut up fruit (apples, kiwi, banana, grapes (even mango lol) etc)
crackers/pretzels
goldfish
cherrios
raisins and prunes (cut up the prunes though)
fruit snacks
cheese sticks (string cheese or cheddar

My kids love "Ants on a log". Spread Peanut Butter in the middle of celery and put raisins on the PB. They eat them up real quick.
