Snacks

Hello!
In addition to her 3 meals and formula DD is now eating a late afternoon snack. Would love some snack ideas. Right now I do plain Greek yogurt with fresh fruit or a homemade apple sauce purée or cheese and toast, or just fresh fruit.

Would love some more ideas. Thanks!

    We do puffs, goldfish crackers, apple, cheese, yogurt, or cheerios.

    All of the above, plus M absolutely loves black beans. I just rinse them off and give her a few at a time. She will ignore everything else on her tray and just go for the black beans!

    We also do 3 meals plus one snack a day. For snacks we have cheese and grapes (halved), raisins (cut up), banana or other cut up fruit like kiwi, nectarines, oranges, melon, or berries, Cheerios, hummus with toast or cut up bell pepper, yogurt. Lately I've been making them a lot of smoothies with fruit and leafy greens in them. Because V is anemic I try to plan their meals and snacks carefully, offering vitamin C-rich foods alongside iron-rich ones and avoiding dairy with the iron-rich food. So if the meals are iron-rich, I give dairy for snack, or vice versa.

    Thank you all!
    Eta - @PumpkinAndThePeanut‌ I'm going to start doing smoothies soon too. Can you provide some good mixes?

    I've been serving the smoothies in either a straw cup or a doidy cup. I have to hold the doidy cup for them, but it works better than the straw cup if the mixture is thick. I add V's multivitamin powder to her cup so when I need to get it down her, I'll spoon feed her the last bits that she can't get herself.

    I have been throwing in a banana, a few strawberries or blueberries, a kiwi, maybe a nectarine, and a large handful of fresh (bagged) or frozen leafy greens. Then I either add plain full fat yogurt or a little juicy juice apple juice to reduce the thickness. The yogurt is healthier than the juice, but I'm worried about iron absorption so that's why sometimes I prefer to use the juice.
