My daughter has dairy allergy. We do homemade muffins, quick breads and cookies with sprouted spelt flour, fruits, nuts and fish with bread. i am going to start working on adding beans and greens to to the mix. thanks for the reminder that health food store would have unsulphured dried fruits.

Our snack foods are pretty similar to the above…muffins(with veggies and fruit), fruit, yogurt, tortilla chips with salsa, cereal mix, and granola bars

My hubby and I decided to purchase a food dehydrator so we could make healthy snacks for our son. So, instead of spending money on fruit strips and dried fruit, we just make our own. And it helps prevent us from throwing away fruit that spoils. We can puree it and turn it into fruit strips.

Also, many of Annie’s products do contain MSG (in yeast extract). Sad, I know. I was so disappointed when I found out.

My toddler loves Babybel cheese, pretzels, whole grain cereals in a cup (snacks on them throughout the day), diced or sliced fruits, grated carrots, grated cheese, dried cranberries or cherries, mini bran muffins, carrot muffins, zucchini muffins, yogurt, chopped pumpkin seeds (very high in protein and iron).

Check those Veggie Stix for yeast extract, it is MSG (monosodium glutamate) in disguise!

Hey, thanks for the plug! We also eat lots of cereal trail mix (what I usually refer to as “Toddler Trail Mix”). My oldest has graduated to actual trail mix since she can handle nuts just fine. Oh, we’re waiting so anxiously for those molars to arrive for the boys–what culinary delights await them when they can chew crunchy things! Incidentally, sounds like our kids are similar ages–my boys are 16 months old, too. (My daughter is almost 3)

You’re motto is so right on!

Thanks for sharing your list for snack ideas. We eat very similarly and I’m always looking for more snack ideas.
