What's your LO's favorite snack?

I am looking to branch out and offer DS new snacks. 

What do you normally serve your child/children?

TIA!

Fruit, fruit and more fruit.

It's an especially fun time of year for fruit!!!

Mostly fruit, especially this time of year. Also fresh veggies, nuts, pretzels, cheese sticks.

We do whole wheat Ritz crackers, rice cakes, sweet potato chips, string cheese, veggies, nuts, and TONS of fresh fruit.

Any kind of fruit - she's on a berry kick right now.  She also *loves* cucumbers with hummus (or bell peppers or carrot sticks (sliced into thin sticks).

Some ideas besides fruit

crackers with hummus, cheese stick wrapped in turkey, sweet potato chips, dried vegetables (green beans are her favorite), popcorn, graham cracker with peanut butter

I think that we have different snacks every single day.

granola bars, any kind

crackers, pretzels (with cream cheese or pb or hummus or jam)

fruit, always. 

veggies, everyday. right now we love pulling peas from the pod and carrots with pb.

cheese. he loves the tomato basil lately (we call it "pizza cheese" b/c it taste like pizza)

dried fruit. ds loves mango best. i love cranberries.

nuts. we like them all. 

rice cakes, rice crackers graham crackers, popcorn.

Applesauce and yogurt are always quick go-tos.  Also, crackers (wheat and graham), goldfish, pretzels, popcorn, apple slices, bananas, pineapples, granola bars, turkey, dry cereal or Sun Chips.

Oh- and vanilla greek yogurt is DD#1s favorite.  We mix in different things- blueberries, raspberries, sliced bananas and for a special treat chocolate chips!

These are all very good ideas. 

He has never had a rice cake before, and I think the idea with the cheese stick wrapped in turkey is different.

He does like fruit, but instead of giving him an apple everyday or some strawberries, these ideas will really widen his variety.

Thanks again!

My girls love fruit too. One variation DD1 likes is banana slices with a dollop of peanut butter on top. We've been making fruit and yogurt smoothies a lot this summer too.

They also like dry cereal (Cheerios, Puffins or Shredded Spoonfuls), cheese and crackers, and hummus with carrots and cucumber and pita wedges or tortilla chips. Our on-the-go snacks are usually Z-bars, goldfish/cheddar bunnies, or pretzel sticks -- the Trader Joe's honey wheat ones are the best!
