Sometimes it feels like there is nothing quick and easy to give your toddler as a snack.
I know as a parent I sometimes stare at the fridge and pantry and assume there is nothing even semi healthy to give to my little one. How I forget about the little, less complicated things that can be made in a matter of minutes. Here are 20 quick and easy snacks for your toddler:
**************************************
1. Yogurt – Good with apple slices to make dippers
2. Oatmeal – use different flavors for variety
3. Mac and cheese – Make this snack into a meal by adding in corn, carrots, peas, or ground beef.
4. String cheese
5. Raisins
6. Cut up pieces of fruit – mandarin oranges, sliced grapes, and strawberries are good options.
7. Applesauce
8. Grilled Cheese – Cut up into bite size squares
9. Goldfish Crackers, Gerber Puffs, Cheez Its
10. Mini Pancakes – Eggo makes some minis that are easy to make.
11. Scrambled Eggs
12. Toast w/Jelly (or Peanut Butter if your sure your toddler has no allergy to nuts)
13. Dry cereal – Cheerios are a great staple and easy to travel with.
14. Veggies – Broccoli, brussel sprouts, corn, green beans are all great choices!
15. Mashed Potatoes – Make up a big batch and freeze into smaller portions.
16. Cheese Quesadillas – Cut into small triangles
17. Fish Sticks, grilled chicken strips (Cut up)
18. Deli Meat – ham/turkey rolled up, serve w/cheese cubes
19. Pasta – Served with spaghetti sauce or with a small amount of butter/margarine.
20. Cereal Bars (like Nutrigrain) – Easy snack for on the go!
A couple of these toddler snacks can be beefed up to make some yummy toddler meals. Mix and a match a few of the fruit and veggie choices and in some protein and your toddler will have a well balanced lunch
