On the go snacks for young toddler?

[DrSally]

My PA DS can't eat the Kashi granola bars. He used to be able to eat the cherry/dk. chocolate, but they recently added the standard "may contain trace peanut".

Thanks. I have an email out to them about their cereal bars. It's unlikely they're made in a different facility from their granola bars which have nuts, but we'll see.

These are some great ideas, thanks ladies! Oh how I wish we had TJ's in south Florida. We do have Whole Foods but they don't have all the same things.

Snapcrisp peas are dried peas in the chips section at TJ's. Addictive! So, for the muffins, you omit all the sugar?

Thanks, I'll have to try them. Yes, I omit all the sugar. With some recipes that works really well, particularly recipes that have lots of fruit. With other recipes, the sugarless muffins don't appeal to my sweet tooth so I'll sometimes add a little honey or agave either to the batter or afterward to the muffin itself. But DS is totally fine with muffins that don't have any sweetener at all in them or on them. He LOVES carbs and it really doesn't matter to him whether they're sweet or not. Really, I can get him to eat almost anything if I hide it in a muffin or pasta.

Also, the edamame packets (Dora on the front) from Target are frozen and defrost in the diaper bag.

They have edamame packets w/ Dora on them???? Huh, never knew. How big are the packets?

I buy the big bag from TJ's/Groc store and put them in containers. That would be easier on days I'm short on time.

where do you get this? we have been getting applesauce crushers from tj's and dd2 loves them. she won't eat applesauce with a spoon anymore. but they are a little pricey and since dd2 goes thru them so fast, i would love to find a cheaper option.

I just saw the crushers at Costco too!

[DrSally]

I just picked up some crushers at TJ's today. DS really liked them. I'm going to try to save them for outings. I'm definitely going to have to check Costco, I've never seen them there.

The edamame packets at Target are single serving size, perfect for a toddler. They're in the frozen section by the organic entrees (Amy's) usually.

yeah! thanks, we go thru these so fast, i really need to buy it in bulk. i can't wait to go look for them!

I've never seen those....do you think they are just at Super Target? (which I don't have) or at regular Targets too?

Hmmm...probably just at SuperTarget if you don't see them or have a freezer section. Although, I did get them very briefly at Harris Teeter (our reg. grocery.) Amazon Fresh has them. Seapoint Farms makes them, and you can look them up here.

Here are the Snapea Crisps. I've gotten them somewhere else also.

[DrSally]

I just saw Snapea crisps at Whole Foods today. I was waiting to buy them at TJ's b/c they're cheaper, but then forgot!

In my experience little kids always love cheez-its

I like these too, but try to stay away from them b/c of the salt and MSG
