DS is really into popcorn if he watches it get popped in the air popper. He will often walk over to where it lives and start bashing the counter with his snack trap like a prisoner clanging his tin mug against the jailbars. I use sea salt and some TJ's butter flavored spray or olive oil or melted butter.

I mix up a weird toddler trail mix of sorts with plain cheerios with yogurt melts, pretzel Goldfish, oyster crackers, raisins, Craisins, and maybe a sweeter cereal or puffs.

DS has also been into rice cakes lately. Lundberg makes a brown rice cinnamon toast rice cake that's pretty good and lightly sweet, or sometimes I just give him a Quaker one if I can find it. It seems to make less of a mess in the carseat than loose cereal and you could put some PB on it to make it more substantial.

You can offer apple slices with a dip like PB mixed with cream cheese and a touch of maple syrup or molasses and stir in some flaxseed meal for more nutrients.

Our go-tos are: cut up bell peppers and carrots, cheese (sticks, babybels, or slices), fruit, sliced avocado, larabars, cheerios, and whole wheat crackers. Sometimes we give her a piece of bread with peanut or almond butter, but that gets pretty messy.

Nuts (cashews, peanuts), popcorn, cheese toast, smoothie (fruit+yogurt+milk), carrots with hummus.

My toddler really likes pickled herring, dill pickles, olives for snacks, but those probably don't have as broad appeal

Also, shelled edamame

We do raisins with a bland cereal like Chex or Cheerios, shredded carrots, diced bell peppers, crackers, toast or mini bagels, hummus "quesadillas", avocado, green (non-dairy) smoothies, and she'll eat pretty much any fruit!

I've been putting snacks back though to improve meals!
