Mental block on Snacks!

So now snacks are a regular scheduled event I need some ideas! So far, they get bananas, grapes, all fruit really, cheerios, baby biscuits, avocado, cheese and that's it really. Anyone got any exciting ideas?

 

Well besides all the healthy stuff (btw, have you tried red, yellow or orange peppers? one of my dd loves them and loves to dip them in dressing) we also do the ocassional junky stuff like Cheeze Itz, pretzel sticks (the small skinny ones), honey wheat pretzels, different kinds of cereals, fruit snacks (the Dora, Princess, Cars ones), crackers, yogurt raisins (a huge hit!), regular raisins, flavored rice cakes.

Hopefully, you got some ideas that you can use. Hope you get some more.

 

We do applesauce, goldfish, teddy grahams, fruit cups, cereal bars, cereal, crackers(ritz, wheat thins), yogurt, and raisins. My boys LOVE yogurt!

They do tend to have a little sweet tooth like their mother...Lucky me!

Pretzels we have not done...I'll have to give those a try-as well as fruit snacks. Hmmm...

 

Fruit snacks, pretzel fishys, Keebler Honey wheat sticks, fruit, wheat thins, really any kind of snack cracker.

And on a side note, Meg...I can't believe you are already 20 weeks along!! You are halfway there!!

 

We do freeze-dried fruits (apples, pears, bananas & mango's). Right now those seem to work the best because they melt in their mouth. I think once they get their molars, I can start giving them regular fruit.

I also do yogurt, applesauce, puffs & cheerios. Just yesterday for the first time I bought the apple-cinnamon cheerios and they love those. I also have pretty much the entire line of Gerber Graduates snacks.

 

everything mentioned we also do. forgot to add that we also buy gogurts from Sam's club and freeze them. we call them yogurt pops or yogurt icecream. the girls think it's like ice cream. they have no idea that they are really just snacking on yogurt.

 

What they are offered - apples, blueberries, oranges, strawberries, mango -- all types of fruit, goldfish, pretzels, cheese, whole wheat bagel or english muffin with cream cheese, welches fruit snacks..preservative free and real fruit, organic cereal bars, cheerios, kashi cereal, crackers, red and yellow peppers, carrots with ranch for dipping, rice cakes...

What they will actually eat after spending twenty minutes looking in the pantry and fridge - fruit snacks, apple, and cheese

 

Nothing super exciting here. Fruit, yogurt, sometimes things like scones or pumpkin bread (if my mom's been baking recently! ). Sometimes DH makes them a pancake for a midmorning snack. They also like smoothies - nothing fancy, just throw some frozen fruit in the blender.

 

- yogurt
- applesauce
- cheese & crackers
- cheerios/shreddies/oatmeal square mixture
- cheese sticks
- all sorts of fruit
- pepper slivers (green or red)
- veggies dipped in hummus

 

We do any kind of fruit,
granny smiths slices w/peanut butter
ww ritz w/peanut butter
carrot sticks, broccoli, cauliflower or grape tomatoes with ranch for dipping
sun chips with cheese
teddy gharams
yogurt w/fruit or yogurt smoothies or yogurt popcicles (if outside)
rice cakes w/ cream cheese
raisins or dried cranberries w/ pretzels

 

Thanks for all the ideas ladies!

 

My boys love apple slices (sometimes with caramel dip!), carrot sticks, they LOVE go-gurt yogurt, pretzels, goldfish crackers, fruit snacks, fruit roll-up's, cut-up canteloupe, pineapple, mandarin oranges, finger jello, Pop Tarts, string cheese, popsicles
