Snack ideas

leebi07 · January 2012

Hi, My twins are 18 months and I need some healthy snack ideas to send to daycare. This what I have been sending:

morning snack- some type of fruit
lunch- meat or pasta with veggies and yogurt with fruit mixed in
afternoon snack- cheese

I am looking for some other options for the afternoon snack, so that they are not eating cheese every day. I don't want to send another fruit because that's what they have for the morning snack. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I send cereal bars or Jammy Sammy's as a snack for my daughter. Depending on the day, she also likes to snack on pepperonis.

I would suggest maybe Gerber Graduates snacks (DD loves the cheddar flavored little crunchies), cereal bars, granola, I know you already said you pack fruit, maybe try dried fruit, I also give my 2 year old crushed up cashews, etc. HTH!

How about the standards like goldfish, pretzels, cheerios, graham crackers, peanut butter and cracker sandwiches, etc...

What about some veggie sticks (cucumbers, peppers, mushrooms), bagel with cream cheese on it... just trying to think what I give L in addition to what other posters have mentioned.
