DD, who turned 2 on 8/9, loves cheese sticks & cereal bars for snacks. I give her a variety of other healthy snacks too. Just thought I'd check here to see what your toddler's favorite snack is.

Thanks,

Julie

It changes, but most recently it's been:

raisins
cranraisins
cheddar bunnies (similar to goldfish)
cheese cubes/string cheese


She's funny, she'll really likes something for a few weeks and then not want it at all for a long time so we'll see!!

Nutrigrain bars, she'd eat them day and night if I let her! I try not to give her one every day as they have quite a bit of sugar but they also have good calcium and iron so I figure they aren't all bad!
She also likes yogurt at the mo.

Veggie Booty and more veggie booty. Pirate's booty (the cheese one) is a close second. :)

Still waiting for him to like cheese and cereal bars since they are so easy.....

No cheese here due to dairy sensitivity.

Grapes, bananas, cheese bread (cheese slice melted on slice of bread in microwave), goldfish, Kix, mini pancakes (the frozen variety)... Colin hasn't been keen on eating much cheese plain lately - that used to be a huge favorite!

DS LOVES Danimals drinkable yogurt. It is so bad that he asks for it EVERY time I open the fridge!

Other staples are goldfish, pretzels, and fruit snacks

Hi,

If you have a Trader Joes in your area, they have great cereal bars. They have no transfat and are low fat. They taste great and I think are cheaper than Nutrigrain bars. DD and I love them.

Thanks for all the ideas. I hadn't thought of trying cranraisins as a snack.

If your a Trader Joe fan, you can also try Kashi brand Cheddar TLC crackers (they're cheese crackers with no hydrogenated oil!) I just tried them on my 20 month old, and she loved them. I'd also love to hear more Trader Joe finds.
