anything they like to eat.
For snacks our toddler will eat:
- fruit (fresh, frozen, canned, cut up or whole)
- cheese
- the tops of broccoli (only the tops)
- canned black beans
- chickpeas roasted in olive oil with salt and pepper
- homemade energy bites (dates, fruit, hemp hearts, coconut, cocoa powder)
- yogurt
- cottage cheese
- baby food (in a bowl with a spoon)
- hard boiled eggs
- leftover chicken from dinner
- roasted sweet potatoes
We usually try to give her leftovers rather than making new meals each time. Her tastes change by the hour, so she might LOVE something one day, then scream at it the next day. When she started using a spoon successfully she wanted nothing but pureed baby food for her snack. We would dump it in a bowl and she would eat it with her spoon, usually while only wearing a diaper.
